Kennady Diamonds Completes 2016 Winter Drilling Program

Kennady Diamonds (TSXV:KDI) has announced that the 2016 winter drilling program has been completed. A total of 10,712 meters of core drilling was completed with kimberlite intersected in each of the 74 drill holes comprising the program.
Rory Moore, president and CEO, said:

The 2016 winter drill program was the Company’s most successful to date. Highlights include the discovery of the Faraday 3 kimberlite, the subsurface delineation of both Faraday 1 and 3 up to and beyond the shoreline of Faraday Lake, the successful bulk sampling of the Kelvin North Lobe and the successful mini-bulk sampling of Faraday 2. The way is now clear for further land-based drilling at the Faraday kimberlites during the summer.
