Vaaldiam Resources Ltd. reported diamond results from its mini-bulk sampling program on its Pimenta Bueno diamond property in the State of Rondonia, Brazil. A total of 39 diamonds with a total weight of 2.12 carats were recovered from 84.68 tonnes (dry weight) of kimberlite extracted from two vertical shafts testing the 3.0 hectare Cosmos 1 kimberlite pipe. The five largest diamonds recovered from the mini-bulk sample weighed 0.43, 0.32, 0.11, 0.10 and 0.09 carats. The average size of the diamonds recovered was 0.05 carats.

The two vertical shafts were approximately 85 metres apart and tested areas of the Cosmos 1 pipe that had been sampled previously by joint venture partner Rio Tinto in 2006/2007. Rio Tinto’s drill program resulted in the recovery of 62.18 tonnes (dry weight) of kimberlite from thirteen 5 1/4 inch reverse circulation drill holes, which following processing at Rio Tinto’s laboratory facility in Brasilia resulted in the recovery of 115 diamonds with a total weight of 2.35 carats. The average size of the diamonds recovered from the Rio Tinto sampling was 0.02 carats and many of the diamonds recovered appear to show evidence of breakage, as suggested by the much lower average size of the diamonds recovered.

A third shaft, located 50 metres southeast of Shaft A, was excavated to a depth of 15.0 metres and resulted in the collection of approximately 91.3 tonnes (wet weight) of kimberlite. Approximately 18 tonnes (wet weight) of kimberlite has been processed thus far from this sample. A further 73 tonnes remains to be processed from this sample.

The Cosmos 1 kimberlite is situated in the 208,000 hectare Southern Block of the Pimenta Bueno property, and is one of 38 kimberlite pipes discovered to date on the property. Sampling of the one hectare Cosmos 2 pipe, situated 500 metres to the southeast of Cosmos 1, has also been completed. Approximately 52 tonnes (wet weight) of kimberlite was extracted from an eight metre deep shaft. The sample is currently awaiting transport from the project site to Vaaldiam’s processing facility in Bahia State.

To ensure the security of the samples, Vaaldiam’s geologists and technicians implemented a strict chain-of-custody procedure. The mini-bulk samples were excavated and placed in a series of sample bags with a nominal capacity of approximately 1/2 tonne each. The sample bags were sealed with a tamper-proof closures which were inspected by representatives of the Brazilian Department of Mines prior to the samples being shipped to Vaaldiam’s processing facility in Bahia State. Vaaldiam’s processing facility, situated in the Town of Nordestina, consists of a crushing and feed circuit, a 300 kilogram per hour dense media separation module and a secure diamond recovery circuit capable of recovering diamonds larger than 0.85 mm using a square mesh screen. Simulated diamond tracers with a density similar to diamond are used to measure the efficiency of the plant.

The best family camping tents are the ones that will fit everyone with a lot of comfort. Though some would say that there is nothing comfortable about a tent, having enough room for everyone is essential for a good trip. If everyone is cramped within the family camping tent, they are not going to sleep well and will be cranky the next morning. If you have a family of five, you should get a tent meant to fit even more people. That way everyone has room to move and even roll in the night. Not everyone sleeps in one position for the entire night. In fact, that is rather rare.

Family camping tents should also afford some privacy. Though people can take turns changing clothes within the tent, the best ones are the ones that have a few rooms to them. They are not noise proof, of course, but they can allow someone to change will others are sleeping in the main section of the tent. The extra rooms can also mean that those who do not like to sleep right next to everyone else may be able to have some space of their own. If someone wants to take a nap in these family camping tents during the day, they have the space to do so.

Some do not like the price tag that is associated with the larger family camping tents. However, if you are going to live in something for a few days or a few weeks, you want something that is as nice as you can afford. That will make everyone happier and will mean that everyone will enjoy camping more. Good family camping tents also have ample ventilation and are water proof. Buying something too small and sub par will only make everyone on the trip miserable and they will be less likely to wish to repeat the experience.
