RE:New presentation - new slidesCH679 looks to be a kimberlite for sure. The area of float is down ice from the anomaly in the expected direction, which is very good. There are garnets AND chrome diopsides down ice. When you see chrome diopsides you are very close to the kimberlite source.
Given De Beers liked this area a lot, you can be confident that the kimberlite will have highly positive mineral chemistry and thus it is much more likely to be diamondiferous.
Looks to be 1.0-2.25 Ha. Tough to say accurately without magnetic modeling.
What's confusing about this map is that that the map grid pattern has crosses at regular intervals and the De Beers person who made this map also chose crosses, albeit smaller ones, as the sample locations. You have to study it hard to see the statistical significance of the samples.
