    Proposal Description
    The prospecting activities for diamonds will be a combination of both non-invasive and in-vasive methods. A suitable level of feasibility study (technical and economic evaluation) will also be undertaken.
    The initial prospecting activities will be non-invasive and restricted to a desk-top study which included a literature survey, plus aerial photograph and sat-ellite image interpretation, and ground validation of targets in the first year. Subsequent phases will be of the invasive type, typically pitting, or trenching aimed at recovering suitably representative samples to determine grade and quality.
    Bulk sample (Trenching) test work will be undertaken to test the grade and quality and ultimately the economic viability of the potential deposit.
