RE: what happens feb4th???
RE: what happens feb4th???If i am not mistaken...the counts begin on the 4th...the processing should have been already completed by that date. Bascially everything that is performed by hand is what the SNO observer is going down to checkout and verify. I would be surprised if that takes 10 days but who knows what the schedual is. I assume the SRC processes lots of materials for many companies so you would think they have a speedy and reliable system and are able to meet demand especially with someone on hand to watch over their shoulder.
Once the 1000 kg`s of kimberlite are processed (should be completed by the 4th of feb.) then the remaining material is sorted and diamonds are retrieved by hand and analyzed for qaulity, clarity, size etc and a report is issued. So goes my understanding of things. The 4th is a monday and im betting we are halted by the friday of the same week. Maybe a monday or tuesday open. Just a guess.
