Botuobinskaya

"Since the beginning of 2015, production at Botuobinskaya has been preparing a test batch of rough that will be assessed for grade and quality by ALROSA’s Rough Sorting Center and then by Gokhran, Russia’s State Precious Metals and Gems Repository, in terms of its marketability and value. Based on those findings, the marketing strategy and sales channels for the Botuobinskaya rough will be defined later this spring. “I haven’t seen the rough from Botuobinskaya myself yet,” says Uvarov, “but I’m sure the entire world is very interested to see it.”"

This pipe has been on the shelf for 15 years as per strategic planning.

Almost 14K tonnes @ a grade of 5.13 cpt makes it one of the world's highest grade diamond mine.

Missing piece...which is still missing is the rough diamond value.

They could trump CH-6 for rock value...CH-6  still has a lot to grow before it finalizes a final production valuation though.
