The 2022 delineation drilling yielded a diamond count of 61 stones per 100kg, with stones described as consistently white and clear. Reasoning: The release reports caustic fusion microdiamond results from delineation drilling. While the diamond counts \(stones/100kg\) are lower in 2022 compared to 2021, the qualitative description of the stones as 'overwhelmingly clear and white' is a positive indicator for potential commercial value. - Positive factor: Consistent high-quality diamond descriptions \(white and clear\) - Positive factor: QA/QC disclosed with ISO 17025 accredited lab - Positive factor: Delineation drilling program progressing Facts used in scoring: 2 ## Classification and evidence **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions SRC is an independent, ISO 17025:2017 accredited laboratory and describes the caustic fusion process. Evidence · text > SRC is an independent lab and is SO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited. **Infill Drilling** Polarity: neutral Definition: Confirmatory drilling to raise resource confidence, not new discovery. Why it applies: The program is described as delineation drilling with scope to infill up to 100m centers. Evidence · text > The holes are part of a delineation drilling program... with scope to infill up to 100m centers. ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 2.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
