Stornoway announces 2018 exploration programs

18 January 2018

Stornoway Diamond Corporation is pleased to provide an overview of exploration programs planned for 2018. With the successful construction and ramp-up of the Renard Diamond Project completed, the board of directors of Stornoway has approved a program of both brownfield and grassroots exploration aimed at both new discoveries, and the development of the existing resource upside potential at Renard. A total budget of $4.6 million has been allocated to complete this work.
Highlights of the 2018 program include:

  • A drill program of 100 targets on the Renard Property aimed at new kimberlite discovery;
  • 5,000 meters of delineation drilling on Renard 3 aimed at the conversion of high grade mineral resources and their acceleration in the Renard mine plan; and
  • Grassroots sampling and drilling on new claim acquisitions in both eastern and western Canada.
