Yes Daz, I think they will get the results of the surveys and from that will have a rough outline of the kimberlite structure. First pass of the delineation drilling may be to confirm the outline. Extra passes will be to find the RVK/PK interfaces as well as to find the best and most accessible spot to do bulk sampling of the PK. They can do the delineation drilling with a narrow core bit and the multipurpose drill rig can do this job.

I am not sure if this has been posted, and the bulk of this article is talking about Sth African kimberlites, but it does have some lovely diagrams that will give you some idea of what sort of shape and structure Ecat is talking about. Diagram #2 is the one to study well:http://www.dmec.ca/ex07-dvd/E07/pdfs/46.pdf
