Stages of Diamond Exploration
- Staking land and developing targets
- Drilling targets for kimberlite
- Testing kimberlite for micro diamonds
- Mini-bulk sampling of kimberlite pipes for diamonds (Sampling for Grade):
- bulk kimberlite sample greater than five tonnes through large diameter drilling
- Large scale bulk sampling of kimberlite (Sampling for Value):
- produce a parcel of diamonds whose values can be used as a model for the rest of the deposit.
- Pre-feasibility study to determine the economics of the project
- Permitting and final feasibility study
- Mine construction
- Production of Diamonds
