D.R.A.
It's been a while.....What would happen if a 100 carat stone came up, and if it was clear? Well, first, it would probably be worth at least about $6,000.00 a carat so that is $600,000.00 dollars. Assuming that the bulk is exactly 6000 tonnes, that means that a single diamond like that could by itself represent $100 per tonne value of the total value. If a 100 carat stone is found and announced before valuations.....the tape will tell us all as to what the quality is...you will not have to wait for valuations for a large increase in share price if a diamond of that size looks good....
regards,
teevee

It costs a lot of money to buy a 100 carat stone, maybe a bunch
of 1 to 5 carats to throw in the mix, but not a 100!!!

I have been tracking the guesses for largest stone. Your guess of 69 carats is duly noted. If anyone else has a guess feel free to PM me.
I will post the updated list at the end of April. By then we should be into the bulk sample processing.
