The resulting residues were shipped to Mineral Services Laboratory (MSL) in Cape Town for recovery, weighing and description of the microdiamonds. Whilst 35 microdiamonds were recovered by MSL, the hand-sorting process was hampered by an unusually large volume of residue and so further quality control processing and sorting was carried out. The residues were submitted to the Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc, Mineral Processing laboratory (KCEI) Laboratories in Canada for further dissolution using their proprietary fusion process and an additional 12 microdiamonds were recovered by KCEI during sorting of the resulting residue.\n\nIn total 47 microdiamonds were recovered.
