Frank, glad to hear you're fine! You have been a great source of info and as an instigator of valuable discussion on this thread, regardless of, and of course distinct from!, what the last lab was reported to have found from K-14.RC (reverse circulation: remember the wash-by) holes were from in the huge orebody-- first thought of as 3 kims, with K-14B and C, and then the whole complex was treated as one massive deposit. K-14'C' showed amazing things in the first testing, then poor in further sampling. Now the whole complex, using a 1.2mm minimum cutoff , does too --- we need to know more re. the hole locales, their real representation, etc etc. b "250m north of K-14," "detected by test pitting"c "300m NE of K-14, & 250m east of K-14C"A total of 56.45 carats of diamonds was recovered from the sample of 479 tonnes, providing an effective grade of 11.78 carats per 100 tonnes. The two largest diamonds weigh 0.90 and 0.88 carat respectively. Most of the diamonds are clear or greyish in colour. Some are pale brown, and a few yellow stones also were recovered. The diamonds have not been valued.
