I am soooooo happy that I am here during summer! Unbelievable what winters must be like. Some of the days it is absolutely freesing and other days the temperatures go up to 15°C. All the lakes are still partly covered with ice.

The nice thing is (even thoug you have to get used to it) that the sun hardly goes down. 11 o'clock at night it is still day bright outside, the sun is quite high and not even red or orange but still white.

The entire setup here reminds me of one of those arctic explorations you sometimes see on TV. Ok, there is no snow right now but we all live in containers put together. It is a camp made of containers. Beeing here is a totally new experience. The warm days up here in summer are colder than the normal winter days in South Africa.

Our work is going pretty well. The first few days we were here with 3 people from Scan & Sort. Klaus and Silvio had to do the hard work - mechanical upgrade of the unit. Afterwards I took over for the easier part with the test work. The waste rock sorter does exactly what we want it to do, it separates waste from Kimberlite. We rejected 94% of the granite yesterday and only lost 3% Kimberlite. I think that was pretty good.

I have uploaded some fotos, you can check them out under:

That's it for now.
