RE: long time for hole results;must be NFGTo clarify, the initial discover holes BD rating is reported economical after they soaked the coal and mishandled core because they where drilling kimber.
I'd like to find a lab that digs out the centre of a kimber core (just shinny stuff) and only assays this for diamonds per kilo.
Coal goes black to brown (black to brownish reported in discovery NR) when wet and because of cellular matrix sponges water being our best natural water filter. Coal water filters are spent when brown to the core. This is post secondary chemistry.
The visuals on these recent intercepts are shiny black.
No time to educate but it's the S factor to bash if you choose. S rating from original two discovery holes average 1.83% and very economic. DYODD
S is very brittle and powders. Reason, amongst others for wash.
So, in these coming assays and for the first time the core will be divided into commercial size lumps (small chips and powder included) and washed. This will wash the coal dust and brittle powdered S.
Concl.- Higher grade is a given based on all science theory.
