best Wawa mini-bulk = Genesis in fall 2002
best Wawa mini-bulk = Genesis in fall 2002 "The best Wawa mini-bulk test was obtained in the late summer of 2002, when Pele Mountain processed 4.5 tonnes of rock from its Genesis showing, coming up with diamonds weighing 0.52 carat, for a sample grade of nearly 0.12 carat per tonne.
The Genesis result seemed to confirm the promise found in an initial 17-kilogram batch of rock that yielded 308 diamonds. The encouragement found in the mini-bulk sample was helped by the fact that the largest diamond, which weighed 0.085 carat, did not have a major impact on the total weight of the diamond parcel."
From willp on Oasis deciding to bulk on thier wawa property
Where did De Beers get thier samples from this time around?
