Ooooopppps!,.....I blew the area calculation of the Winspear "feeder pipe model" as per my last post (#16081). If the radius of the feeder pipe is 1 km, then the area is (radius)*2 3.1416/10000 hectares which is 314 hectares, not 1250 (hope I didn't stop any hearts out there). Even still it will be the biggest kimberlite (blind) pipe ever found, if it's round. I believe M1 in Botswana is the current record holder, it's only 180 hectares. a red-faced russett, but still bullish

russett, thanks for the update. About that 16 carat found in the drill core. Do you know where they were drilling when they pulled this baby out? Also,would finding a diamond this size in the drill core be considered a rare occurence. Thanks, BB
