Diamonds results of an AK10 kimberlite indicator mineral chemistry
classification by CF Mineral Research Ltd, Kelowna, Canada. Pangolin has been
granted the sole and exclusive option to earn up to a 75% interest in the Orapa
AK10 Kimberlite because +50 carat diamond potential indicator & positive
results from 8,969 individual kimberlite ndicator mineral analyses.
A
database of mineral chemistry analyses from the Orapa AK10 kimberlite
consisting of 8,969 analyses of individual kimberlite indicator minerals (KIMs)
were submitted to CF Mineral Research for classification using their
proprietary classification scheme for KIMs to assess the diamond potential of
the Orapa AK10 kimberlite.
A
total of 1,908 clinopyroxene analyses were classified. The result of the classification found that
12.6% are associated with a derivation from the diamond stability field. The
mineral chemistry of 15.4% of these diamond inclusion type clinopyroxenes is
consistent with the chemistry of clinopyroxe diamond inclusions recovered from
+50 carat diamonds.
The KIMs
classification results indicate that the Orapa AK10 kimberlite has sampled
several source areas in the diamond stability field. A significant proportion
of composition to clinopyroxenes extracted as diamond inclusions from +50 carat
diamonds.
