Good questions.
1. The results we are awaiting are from the dyke so they should be similiar to other holes in dyke and bulk sample.
2. Zone 186 is a kimberlite breccia and apparently it looks like it has been reworked, or moved into position, it probably is far less economic for two reasons, lower kimberlite grade and the amount of wall rock mixed in. Just what its relationship to the dyke is, is still uncertain.
3.The possible pipe is even more problematic. It should have a grade similiaar to dyke but depending onn size may have cooled slower and had more reabsorbtion of diamonds, hence may have less diamonds or ones not as good.
Hope that helps. The computer I'm using is an antique it it is some slow.
regards Walt
