(i) sample comprised largely of xenolithic material
These 76 diamonds were isolated from the greater population of 2,020 diamonds, by each of them being selected as a result of having at least one dimension exceeding 0.8 millimeter (one of the primary thresholds used to determine commercial significance). The analytically-derived mass of 0.607 carat is the product of application of the industry-standard formula used to calculate octacarats (i.e. to the eighth decimal place decimal place n. The position of a digit to the right of a decimal point, usually identified by successive ascending ordinal numbers with the digit immediately to the right of the decimal point being first: ) from three (3) measured dimensions, rather than the sum of the individual gravimetric weights of the 76 diamonds (now being undertaken for confirmation). The remaining 1,944 diamonds contained in the seven (7) samples, that were smaller than 0.8 millimeter in one dimension, were not included in the calculation of the total weight of carats in the samples. Of the four (4) samples that yielded the 76 diamonds totaling 0.607 carat, two were recovered from xenoliths encapsulated in the harder surrounding matrix, as represented by the other two samples. The xenolithic samples totaling 49.9 kilograms (of the total 95.3 kilograms) contained 0.59 carat (of the total 0.607 carat) of measured stones and 1,749 (1,676 unmeasured) of the total population of 2,020 diamonds contained in all seven (7) samples. (An eighth sample, measuring 21.6 kilograms was barren). Only three (3) measured stones and 62 unmeasured diamonds were contained in the two non-xenolithic samples totaling 45.4 kilograms. The eight (8) samples analyzed to date, are the first part to be reported to be spoken of; to be mentioned, whether favorably or unfavorably.

As indicated by the Joint Venture in its News Release of January 21, 2005, the eight (of thirty) samples were processed by caustic dissolution. Individual descriptions (xyz dimensions, crystal descriptions, actual carat weight of larger stones, and octacarat weights, etc.) for each diamond in the eight samples were provided. These samples were collected from rocks in the vicinity of one of the two five-tonne bulk samples currently being processed at the SGF SGF Svenska Golfförbundet (Swedish Golf Federation) SGF Société Générale de Financement (Quebec, Canada) SGF Smart Game Format SGF Simulated Gastric Fluid testing facilities at Lakefield, Ontario Lakefield (population 2400) is a village which is a part of the township of Smith-Ennismore-Lakefield, and Peterborough County, Ontario, although it was formerly a separate village.
