The kimberlite was intersected at around 50m to the north of drill hole KDI-HQ14-033a.

Drilled from east to west, the KDI-14-065 hole has shown that the Kelvin pipe could be trending to the NNW rather than to the NNE.

Kennady Diamonds CEO Patrick Evans said: "We had delineated the Kelvin pipe-like body over a strike of approximately 610m up to 033a.

"Drill hole KDI-HQ14-033b, which was drilled at -80 degrees to the north of 033a, returned only narrow kimberlite intersects leading us to believe that the pipe was trending either to the NNW or NNE and that we had drilled over the top of the kimberlite."

Around 27,200m has been drilled at the Kelvin – Faraday kimberlite corridor this year and 55 tons of kimberlite has been recovered.

Located 280km east-northeast of Yellowknife in Northwest Territories, Canada, the Kennady North Project is said to host 16 mineral leases and 58 mineral claims.
