Dunnedin updates drilling at Kahuna Project – first kimberlites drilled
10 May 2018
Dunnedin Ventures Inc. today provides an update on its ongoing 2018 drill program at its 100% owned Kahuna project, Nunavut. The company has drill-tested five of approximately 40 targets (13%), with potentially diamond-bearing kimberlite intercepted at two targets. Inclement weather limited drilling and confined operations to the vicinity of the company’s newly constructed camp and the company’s best kimberlite pipe-type targets with the highest associated diamond indicator minerals (“DIM”) have not yet been tested. Dunnedin plans to return the property in six to eight weeks to drill the remaining high priority targets. Of the five targets drilled, two were high count DIM-in-till targets, both of which yielded significant extensions to the known high-grade diamond-bearing PST and 07KD-24 kimberlite dikes. Concentrated DIMs-in-tills were clearly associated with adjacent OhmMapper geophysical responses and new kimberlite intercepts, demonstrating the effectiveness of Dunnedin’s targeting methods.
