Dave
Kimberlight is soft material
The problem is what is mixed in with the material.
Granite which is super hard etc.Take a Jack Hammer with a sharp point
and rattle it on granite in about 5 miniutes there will be no point left and you will probally be not more than 6" in the ground.
Also Clay Material mixed in with it all.
Now If it was kimberlight pipe and you were in pure kimberlight I think you could do what your saying.
But I have my doubts if WSP would do this.The 6000t bulk sample will prove that large stones are there.

That would really be asking for trouble with the purists Dave. The climate isn't really conducive to Mom & Pop type diamond mining, and security would be a nightmare if it were even suggested. I think we can count that out.

Cheers
