Dunnedin Ventures Inc. today provided an update on rotary air-blast (‘RAB’) drilling at its 100% owned Kahuna Diamond Project in Nunavut. The Company reports it has discovered a new kimberlite pipe (KH10-11) and drill-tested two additional historic pipes. Diamond recovery tests will begin shortly, and first results are expected in 8-10 weeks.
Highlights include:
•New KH10-11 kimberlite pipe discovery, and two historic pipes (KD900 and KD230) re-drilled to review diamond content and potentially expand diamond-bearing phases
•New KH10-11 pipe was drilled to 112 metres and KD900 drilled to 114 metres vertically. The newly discovered pipe KH10-11 remains open at depth
•Indicator minerals were observed in kimberlitic material recovered from two of the three pipes (KH10-11 and KD900), including garnet, picroilemite, and olivine - similar to significantly diamond bearing kimberlite drilled on the property to-date. Most were observed in the newly discovered KH10-11 pipe
•More than three tonnes of kimberlitic material was collected from these three pipes and is available for diamond analysis
•Approximately one tonne of representative kimberlitic material from all three pipes was shipped and prioritised for diamond recovery at CF Mineral Research Ltd. (‘CFM’) in Kelowna, British Columbia
