The Diamond News Is encouraging

The diamond news is good IMO. The diamond mine that is close by the Magembe property is a big deal... producing rare pink diamonds. An alluvial deposit has been mined to the north of the Williamson Mine Pit. IMO finding diamonds in samples makes this DLKM property very interesting. I found that if the gravel tests +0.5 carats per hundred tonnes it enters economic territory. Diamonds concentrate in rivers much like gold... diamond-bearing gravel is cheap to process if not buried too deep... the key is how much gravel there is and the nature of the bedrock in the paleo river bottom... diamonds seem to concentrate in basal conglomerates of active river channels, so diamond alluvial deposits have an erratic distribution of diamonds and require careful examination, with large bulk sample... just like gold placers.

I have posted Google Earth images of the Magembe area on my website... I will add the gold property soon.
