Company Quarterly Sept 15 stated
"the gravels identified from the grade control pitting ahead of minimng at Mining Block 8 also contained coarse grained ilmenite and garnets (kimberlite indicator materials) in a pebble to cobble sized gravel which also contained reworked coarse RVK clasts in many cases.
The fragile clasts and boulders of RVK preserved within the gravel also provide evidence that the terrace or "confluence target" is both alluvial and elluvial in nature and that the primary source of the clasts is proximal."
The difference in alluvial and elluvial is that alluvial is transported elsewhere whereas elluvial is close to source. So you may be right in what you wrote. Mining Block 8 (MB8) could be a combination of alluvial - what is being shed from L13 or L15 (or both), and elluvial from L259. It could be also that given the size of L259 and where MB8 sits it could be different types of material all from the one kimberlite (I am no expert on how far material has to travel before it turns from elluvial to alluvial though). As was stated in todays announcement, it could be the case that MB6 has alluvials from whatever has deposited them in MB8? Exciting times
That is just it, until they get the drill in and start to sample some uncontaminated samples of kimberlite we won't know if or which of our KB's are shedding. Highly probable that they are close to source, but nothing proven. The diamonds in the alluvials and elluvials are a huge resource in themselves and will provide excellent funding for mining if/when they find the source.
