Arctic Star Exploration Corp. has released 2022 caustic fusion diamond results from the Sequoia Kimberlite complex in the Northwest Territories. The results show a diamond population that is dominantly white and clear, supporting the potential for high-value commercial stones.
Arctic Star has announced diamond-positive caustic fusion results from the Arbutus kimberlite at the Diagras Project. The results show 43 stones per 100kg, representing the second-best result to date for the project, with encouraging larger stone counts (>0.3mm).
Arctic Star Exploration Corp. has completed a successful spring 2022 exploration program on its Diagras project in the Northwest Territories, including the discovery of the new Arbutus kimberlite and further delineation of the Sequoia kimberlite complex. The program involved 1,098 meters of drilling, with samples from both kimberlites sent for caustic fusion to determine diamond content. The company also received a $168,000 Mining Incentive Grant for its efforts.
Arctic Star Exploration Corp. has announced the discovery of the 'Arbutus' kimberlite at its Diagras project in the Northwest Territories. Early geological descriptions note the presence of coarse olivines and abundant mantle indicator minerals, suggesting diamond potential.
Mountain Province Diamonds has announced full drilling results from an exploration program in the Southwest Corridor area of its Gahcho Kué mine, identifying new diamondiferous kimberlite intercepts. The program, which included 18 holes, successfully extended kimberlite mineralization, with several holes showing significant widths. The company plans to use these results to estimate a resource for incorporation into the mine plan, although diamond grades are not yet available and some results are historical.
