Mike Rylatt has also\n recommended obtaining an additional grease table to improve diamond\n recovery and this has recently been ordered. This recrush regime has\n been completed for holes K06-11, K06-13, K06-14, PCR-15, PCR-19 and\n PT1-22. 4,618 diamonds totaling 30.12 carats have to date been\n recovered from 147 tons of kimberlite from these six holes. \n\n\nThe numbe...
