Vancouver – Wednesday, March 1, 2017 – CRYSTAL EXPLORATION INC. (the “Company” or “Crystal”) (TSXV: “CEI”) is pleased to report exploration plans for Crystal’s 100% owned diamond bearing Muskox, Contwoyto and Hood Projects located in Nunavut, Canada.
A three-phase exploration plan is in progress that includes drilling of 6 ‘bulls eye’ ground magnetic targets and completing geophysics over 12 high priority lake and/or Electromagnetic based targets to generate additional new high priority targets. Diamond drilling and exploration work permits are granted across all Crystal project areas.
During 2016, 146 till samples were processed of which 117 samples contain possible ‘picked’ kimberlite indicator minerals (KIM’s) across Crystal’s project areas. The samples cumulatively contain 7,386 possible KIM’s that await microprobe analysis.
Crystals projects and newly developed targets are located in the northcentral portion of the Slave craton of the northwestern Canadian shield which hosts world-class diamond mines and deposits, yet remains vastly under-explored. Testament to this is Canada’s and/or the Slave Cratons newest producer, the Gahcho Kue Diamond Mine which recently reported a 67.87 carat gemstone from production.
