Model of Kimberlite Pipe at Thorny River, 16 Dec 2020 01:00
This work is significant in providing a maiden three-dimensional model for the kimberlite within the Thorny River project which will enable precision planning of further drill holes and calculation of volumes. The next step comprises drilling core holes to further confine the geological boundaries and microdiamond sampling to determine a first pass diamond grade estimate of the body. Petrographic studies will be used to confirm the kimberlite types. Geological modelling is an ongoing and iterative process with every piece of new work enhancing and increasing confidence in the model...
