Okay folks, time for some more Hotlinks for those who wish to explore this fascinating field: A to Z of a gem diamond deposit: archangeldiamond.com Including, "Testing the Kimberlite - Unlike gold deposits, diamonds are not uniformly distributed throughout the kimberlite but occur randomly with a 'nugget' effect being very obvious. The value of a tonne of ore is a function of not only the grade of mineralisation but also the value of the diamonds found in that tonne of ore. Bear in mind that a one carat sized diamond (the size of a small pea) randomly dispersed in 1 x 1 x 0.5 metres of kimberlite (1 tonne) is an unusually high grade. Finding that 'pea' with a 112mm diametre wide drill core is, quite obviously, very difficult and needs a high degree of experience and professional expertise from all members of the exploration team. As with any statistically challenging evaluation problem, confidence in diamond grade increases with the amount of sample recovered and distribution of the sample sites."

Hello All Can't believe people pay for those Tracker Reports, if i were a subscriber i would like a refund on the last two Tracker reports! I know John Kaiser is a well respected man in the mining industry and i guess his recent comments were not taken well by the thread but we were all on the same side here so lets try to forget about this rumours, insider info and all the other stuff and focus on Ashton, come on everyone what happened to all the excitement about the up coming counts of the pipes? Frank your the leader this mob and no one will ever argue that, so lets all continue with Ashtons progress! Any rumours about the counts on the pipes? Just Joking Good Luck All alfonso
