Dunnedin Recovers Diamonds!
Recovery
from KD900 Kimberlite Pipe
Dunnedin
Ventures announced new diamond results from the kimberlite pipe KD900 and the
completion of summer/fall field work at its 100% owned Kahuna Diamond Project
in Nunavut, Canada. As noted in July 19, the Company has drill-tested two
historic kimberlite pipes (KD900 and KD230) and in addition, discovered a new
pipe (KH10-11).
Initial
results from 133.32 kilograms of KD900 include 18 diamonds larger than the
0.106 mm sieve size. Diamond recovery results are indicator minerals from KD900
confirm that while this pipe is diamondiferous, it is not the sole source of
high-quality diamond indicator mineral chemistry present in the Josephine
Target Area.
Claudia
Tornquist, President of Dunnedin, said, "We are pleased to be able to
confirm the historic diamond content of KD900, and further work on this pipe is
warranted.
Importantly, these initial results from KD900 will now allow us to
compare indicator minerals from a known diamond source in the Josephine Target
Area to the abundant high-quality diamond indicator minerals present in till in
this area.
Our
work suggests that these indicator minerals are sourced from further yet-to-be
discovered kimberlites and the results from KD900, together with the till
samples collected this fall will help us define source areas and prioritize the
many targets at Josephine for our next drill program in early 2019."
