Nov 22, 2021 (Sheree Hinz) - The indicator mineral geochemistry from all 7 kimberlite bodies indicates the kimberlite magma has incorporated lherzolitic peridotite enriched in olivine, orthopyroxene along with chromium and aluminum spinels and garnets.

Nov 22, 2021 (Sheree Hinz) - From 156 kgs of drill core, samples were selected from 4 drill holes (PP-20-03,04,08,09) and were processed by CF Mineral Research in Kelowna BC for a concentrate weight of 341 g from which 179g were picked. A total of 1,914 grains were picked and 283 grains probed and classified into 6 diamond indicator minerals: 18 were diamond inclusion olivine/forsterite; 2 were G9 eclogitic garnets believed to originate between 150 km to 200 km depths; 8 were diamond inclusion clinopyroxenes; 17 kimberlite chromites including 7 high titanium chromites, 10 were G10 peridotitic garnets; 2 were diamond inclusion G11 garnets, Of importance is that 18 olivine/forsterite grains classify in all diamond inclusion fields and 2 G9 eclogitic and 16 high pressure megacrystic garnets are associated with diamond formation at depths of about 200 km or more. A total of 5 microdiamonds were recovered and all stones are described as: natural, white, chip with adamantine lustre, very strong colour emission with no inclusions. Samples taken from 4 RC drill holes from the Paradis, Robin’s Place, Gleeson and HSM kimberlites returned average compositions as follows: SiO2: 46.8%, CaO: 16.9%, Al2O3: 8.8%, Fe2O3: 3.2%, K2O: 1.9%, MgO: 4.3%. Na2O: 1.9%, Cr2O3: 0.04%, Mn2O3: 0.06%, TiO2: 0.29%.
