Kennady CEO Pleased with Delineation Drilling at Kelvin Kimberlite

Kennady Diamonds Inc. (TSXV:KDI) announced that it intersected more than 215 meters of kimberlite in drill hole KDI-14-055 at the Kelvin kimberlite. It was intersected at a downhole depth of 157.7 to 373 meters.

As quoted in the press release:

Drilling of delineation hole KDI-14-055 was temporarily stopped in kimberlite at a downhole depth of 373 meters due to unstable ground conditions in an area above the kimberlite at approximately 145 meters downhole. The drill contractors are assessing options to stabilize the ground so that drilling can resume. In the interim, drilling of four diagonal delineation holes (two from west to east and two from east to west) across the far north end of the Kelvin kimberlite will commence shortly. These diagonal delineation holes will allow positioning of the next fan of three northerly delineation holes at the center of the Kelvin pipe.

Patrick Evans, CEO of Kennady, commented:

We are very pleased with the results of delineation drilling at the north end of the elongated Kelvin kimberlite, which continue to exceed expectations. A fan of three drill holes at minus 90 degrees, minus 80 degrees and minus 65 degrees has successfully delineated the Kelvin kimberlite to the north well beyond the current geological model. Preparations are now underway for the drilling of a fan of three further delineation holes to continue tracking Kelvin to the north.
