news on Orion

The partially evaluated Orion North kimberlites (K147/K148, K120 and K220) are estimated to contain more than 500 million tonnes of diamond-bearing kimberlite (News Release Mar 06, 2014).

Initial diamond parcels recovered from large diameter drill (“LDD)”) samples from Orion North kimberlites K120, K147/K148, all contain diamonds over one carat, including two high value stones of 7.50 and 6.88 carats, respectively. The presence of these large, high-quality diamonds points to the potential for coarse diamond size frequency distributions for the Orion North kimberlites.

The Orion North kimberlites have significantly elevated proportions of Type IIa diamonds, particularly K147/K148, which has 52 percent Type IIa diamonds in the size range from 0.05 to 7.00 carats.
