There are five known diamondiferous
kimberlite pipes ranging from <0.5 hectares to 5.6 hectares. The
Inferred Mineral Resource is based on three of the pipes, K1, K2 and
K3. K4 and K5 are the smallest two pipes and have had very limited work
carried out.
Mining operations started in 2015 on K2, since then K1 and K5 have also come on stream with a fourth planned to start in 2021.
