Thought this might be interesting. Shows the huge variation between diamond mine tonage value.

southernera.com

Does anyone recall the production cost/tonne comparison that was made between NWT and Alberta?
How soon before we can expect minibulk results from K6?

From the FP re ACA:
"However, while 13 of those kimberlites contain diamonds,
average grades reported so far are about a third of Dia
Met's Ekati min"

The link that I posted showing valuation/tonne has Dia Met listed @ US$92/tonne. If ACA grades so far are about 1/3 of Dia Met that would put ACA at about the equivalent of Argyle mine at US$32/tonne. I know I am making huge assumtions here but I need to get up to speed with existing results and have some means of measuring future results.
