It is a clear target for further exploration and bulk sampling, and is one of several drill confirmed diamond-bearing kimberlites within a 2 kilometre radius. Once again, Dunnedin's samples have returned higher than historic commercial-sized diamond grades. At PST our final aggregate sample grade is 84% higher than what was historically reported.\"\n\n\n \nHistorical bulk sample results from PST are presented in Table 2.
