Thanks Will, nice of you to drop by to clarify. So using your estimated density, SDM's alluvial material would be roughly equivilant to .33 ct/tonne. I believe alluvial diamonds are much cheaper to extract, as there is no milling required?

For all, SDM has a slideshow that is worth a look: southernera.com

DRC TSHIKAPA ALLUVIAL PROGRAM
POTENTIAL NEAR TERM PRODUCING ASSET
- SDM has 70 to 100% interest in over 30km of diamond mineralised river frontage
- The SDM project is one of the last remaining untested significant alluvial targets worldwide
- Forminiere mined approx. 14m carats from the region up to 1955
- SDM testing both the active river channel and alluvial flat diamond potential
- Active river exploration gravel samples returning encouraging diamond grades
-Project has over 25 million m2of floodplain ‘flat’potential diamond deposit to test, and
- Over 15 million m2 of active river channel to test
