Review and Final Steps before Mining

To find diamonds we need indicator minerals and evidence of a kimberlitic pipe (There are other pipes, but let's not confuse the issues with too much learning right now.) which may come through geomagnetic surveys.

Eventually we have to drill the pipe to get a core sample and see if, in fact, it does contain diamonds.

Eventually there may be a large scale sampling to determine if there is a high enough concentration of diamonds to make it economically feasible to mine the pipe.
