Diamonds North Resources has commenced the 2011 exploration campaign at the Amaruk Property, Nunavut. This exploration will focus on the first priority gold prospects and follow-up of the latest kimberlite target formation discovered from the electro-magnetic (EM) airborne information.
The CEO and President, of Diamonds North has stated that the company is excited to start the exploration at Amaruk. The plan of this sampling and prospecting is to show high values of gold and improve the confidence of aiming the kimberlite by means of EM before drilling.
The diamond exploration will include mainly the comprehensive till sampling near the high-priority targets that was found from the recently obtained EM data. The EM information is considered to go through the conductive overload enclosing majority of the property. The company has discovered numerous extensive priority targets, in which many are in connection with the kimberlite indicator minerals, and these targets need follow-up sampling.
EM data is essential for finding economic kimberlites at the Diavik and Ekati diamond mines and also high-grade kimberlites at the Gahcho Kue project.
The company will additionally perform a wide sampling and prospecting around the priority gold prospects like DEL and Far East, in order to expand the familiar prospects and increase the grade samples.
It has gathered rock samples from DEL showing a length of 15 km that yielded up to 4.16 g/t gold of grab samples and up to 1.20 g/t gold over 3.0 m of chip samples. The surface showing is restricted below 10% of the uncovered iron structure. So, the company will employ a small, portable drill to examine the sub-surface regions around the DEL prospect.
Preliminary prospecting conducted at the Far East showing has directed a way to discover a wide anomalous gold and silver region containing rock samples 1.19 g/t gold, 49.5 g/t silver and 2.66 g/t gold. The company found further mineralization in the parallel rocks, which is 1500 m to main Far East showing’s south side and the samples yielded 0.126 g/t gold and 24.9 g/t silver.
