Thanks to Ralph, Deann, Doc, & Shadera on this Project. This Project will help us a great deal, we will be able to tell when we get Diamond Counts what they really mean. Just have to remember though, that for Core Samples, they are basically for determining where to do Mini-Bulks. There way to many links to put down for all of the numbers that I used to determine these values, but they are posted on the board. I can say I doubled check my numbers and using all of the numbers I get 85cpht, Carats Per Hundred Tons, a very average number for cpht. I know I trust these numbers!
