(\"RTEC\") has commenced the processing of bulk samples from RTEC's trench cutter program. These bulk samples, estimated by RTEC to be approximately 8,271 wet tonnes, were collected during 2019 on the Corporation's Star Kimberlite and are stored on-site in approximately 6,848 cubic metre bulk bags.  \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe on-site bulk sampling plant (the \"BSP\") was fabricated by Consulmet (Pty) Ltd of South Africa. The BSP uses X-ray transmission sorting technology to recover any large diamonds present (6 to 25 millimetres).  All the 0.85 to  6.0 millimetre kimberlite fraction is then processed through a DMS cyclone to prepare a diamond-bearing heavy mineral concentrate for the recovery of the 0.85 to 6.0 millimetre diamonds.  A secondary crushing circuit, using a high-pressure rolls crusher, aims to maximize the liberation of smaller diamonds from the kimberlite.  Star Diamond has been advised by RTEC that it is has completed commissioning of the BSP.  \nThe mineral concentrates produced by the BSP are expected to be shipped, on an ongoing basis, to an off-site facility for final diamond recovery and reporting of such recovery to Star Diamond and RTEC.  ...
