The project is located around 100km south of the Renard Diamond Project and 25km west of the Route 167 Extension in north central Québec.
Matt Manson, President and CEO, said, “We are disappointed by these early diamond results from Adamantin. Nevertheless, we believe additional kimberlites remain undiscovered on the property and we have not yet explained our promising indicator mineral chemistry and the diamond that was recovered in a till sample in 2015. We have expanded our land position at the project and re-focused our exploration attention at additional geochemical sampling and geophysics, with a view to returning to drilling next year should results warrant.”
In total 300 kilograms of kimberlite were processed for micro-diamond recovery by caustic dissolution and 2,500 kilograms for macro-diamond recovery by dense media separation. All samples were processed at Microlithics in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The Adamantin Project now comprises 28,171 hectares of claims in three blocks, following recent additional acquisitions. During July and August field crews collected ground geophysical data to better define known kimberlites and to outline untested anomalies. Till samples were collected in specific areas of interest to better constrain targets for future work, as well within the newly acquired land packages where historical data suggests the presence of additional kimberlites.
