The program will cover a minimum of 5,000m with focus on delineation drilling at the Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites, exploration drilling at the MZ and Doyle kimberlites and at four new exploration targets.
At Kelvin kimberlite, the drilling is being carried out with two drill rigs; the first conducting delineation drilling at the northern edge, second drill rig is drilling vertical and near vertical holes along two lines from the lake shore to the northwest along the strike of the northwest lobe.
Kennady Diamonds CEO Patrick Evans said: "The Kelvin dyke system extends over more than one kilometer to the southwest of the main Kelvin pipe.
"Past drilling of the Kelvin dyke has returned kimberlite intercepts ranging from a few meters to over 20 meters.
"If the current drill program is successful is proving continuity of the dyke system to depth, the potential exists for considerable additional tonnage."
SRK Consulting (Canada) has completed logging and analysis of 25 ton mini-bulk sample recovered during spring’s drill program. The sample is being shipped to Saskatoon for processing the Saskatchewan Research Council.
