Thomas, excellent question.!! We need the answer on those 75 diamonds, you never know when that day comes, (I hope this week) "all hell could break loose", and we will be in the middle, all confused, not knowing which way to turn.???

Thomas;

A good recent example of a pretty good kimberlite is the Contwoyto-1 that Lytton found in the NWT about 30 km east of their Jericho pipes. A 90 kg sample had 169 diamonds, 26 which were macros (greater than .5mm in one direction).
