The company intends to ascertain diamondiferous rock and later assess whether a deposit is similar to the adjacent deposits being mined by other companies.

The program is scheduled to complete within two months and the company expects to commence full production in January 2013.

Dolat Ventures president Dovid Hauck stated that this is further evidence that the company’s current license ground contains diamond bearing rock similar to that being mined nearby.

"The next steps are to undertake a bulk sample to identify grade per tonne and value per carat and to run a scoping study on the feasibility of the project," Hauck said.

The company will continue to focus on expanding its diamond resources at the Baimbawai Pool on the Sewa River.

"Dolat is also in preliminary negotiations with other mines within 10 kilometers from Dolat’s mines that have an interest in being acquired.

"There is plenty of opportunity for expansion in diamonds and into gold and other metals," Hauck added.
