Pangolin begins drilling of kimberlite targets at Motloutse

Pangolin Diamonds Corp. announced beginning a percussion drilling programme at its wholly-owned Motloutse Diamond Project, located 150 km east of the Orapa Diamond Mine in Botswana. The drilling is expected to be completed within the next two weeks.

The Motloutse Diamond Project covers the area where the first diamonds in Botswana were recovered in 1959. It also includes the location where De Beers discovered its first diamonds in Botswana in 1962. The kimberlite source(s) of these diamonds have never been located.

The kimberlite targets are inclusive of AGA-01, an aeromagnetic and gravity anomaly associated with positive sub-angular kimberlite indicator minerals recovered at surface and MG-08 with an anomalous concentration of positive kimberlite indicator minerals recovered at surface, as both previously announced respectively.

The company’s wholly-owned Malatswae Diamond Project, where 13 diamonds have been recovered at surface, is scheduled to be drilled in the second half of 2016.
