I'm afraid that really doesn't make much sense to me. What's Urban doing , dowsing (divining rod) for kimberlite like they do for water.

The estimated depth to target was about 300 feet so if they did not hit by that stage they sure as hell would not hit by 800 feet hence, "there is no need in drilling further".

If they hit at 300 feet they might have drilled out of it by 600 or 700 feet a la oreo cookium syndrome being in play.

They may have hit kimberlite - one thing for sure they know what they hit this a.m. and are sitting on it. There are no other minerals in FALC outside of what will be found in kimberlites which are diamonds.

The other great minerals you refer to are in the precambrian basement rocks 5280 feet down and they don't have the capability of exploring those with the small rig being used right now.
