Canterra Minerals Corp. (TSXV:CTM) has completed a diamond exploration program at its Northwest Territories properties. The company reported that partial analysis from the basal till samples collected has returned encouraging results.

As quoted in the press release:

On the Company’s Marlin Property, under option to Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc., a total of 126 till samples were collected and results have produced a 1.0 x 1.0 x 1.4 mm off-white, modified octahedral diamond, as well as several anomalous indicator minerals including pyropes recovered from neighbouring samples. A geophysical program was also undertaken utilizing the HeliFALCON® gravity gradiometer system combined with airborne magnetics. A 1,500 line km survey was flown over the northern portion of the Marlin Property at a 75 metre line spacing and an average 45 metre above terrain and is expected to isolate any high-definition gravity and magnetic anomalies. A digital terrain model together with detailed bathymetry, using WorldView2 high-resolution satellite imagery, was also completed and will enhance data interpretation and potential kimberlite target definition.
