More details on kimberlites

More details on about a dozen kimberlites have been added to this blog.

Please reference the list of kimberlites in the right navigation.

The most relevant is CH-12, of which is now included in a potential phase 4 scenario.

(updated) CH-29 is also relevant and is now also included in a potential phase 4 scenario.

(updated) CH-33 is a massive 5 hectare kimberlite had has produced a commercial sieve diamond. This is now include in a potential phase 3 scenario.

A couple of the kimberlite details include information like 'caustic results or testing deferred' for various reasons including low priority, etc.

Most importantly though, since BHP left the diamond industry, not all of Chidliak drill core or RC Chips instantly get processed. This is mostly due to very tight financing conditions in the market where money and $$'s have to find a priority.

Moving into the later kimberlites (once they get added), this deferred testing will become more prevelant....as the tight financing market has continued.

Not only does Chidliak have plenty of opportunity of finding more kimberlites in the district, it still has plenty of opportunity to analyse new results once more caustic work is completed on the deferred ones.

There has been a total of 71 confirmed kimberlites on Chidliak proper and 3 more kimberlites on Qilaq (adjacent to Chidliak). There is still a lot more detail to be added to the blog.
