		Negotiations are under way with N.R.G. Flinders for rights to explore for diamonds in the Leigh Creek coalfield and a first right of refusal has been granted to Flinders Diamonds Limited.
		Access to both Tom Hill and Leigh Creek is excellent, via the Stuart Highway to Port Augusta and then via Highway 83, which passes close to both the Leigh Creek coalfield and Tom Hill, a further 70 kilometres to the north-northwest (Figure 1).
		The strategy for this project relies largely on whether the hypothesis of kimberlite intrusives forming eruption craters that are later filled by small sedimentary basins in the Flinders Ranges area proves correct (Figure 4).
