27 Kg is not a very significant sample size, but finding a diamonds measuring 1.12x0.92x0.4 mm that is colorless, clear and a fragment, is encouraging. Garde extrapolates out to 0.7 ct/T but it's meaningless, as none of the diamonds found in this sample are of commerial size.

I would like to get a better idea on how big this deposit is, what it is (metamorphized like in Wawa? or kimberlite), how much could be alluvial in nature. I'm no expert myself, but its possible they are on to an economic resource. Lets keep digging.
