Kennady Diamonds Reveals Results of Kelvin Mini Bulk Sample

Kennady Diamonds Inc. (TSXV:KDI) announced that the summer/fall mini bulk sample program at its Kelvin kimberlite returned a grade of 2.59 carats per tonne.

As quoted in the press release:

The summer/fall mini-bulk sample grade of 2.59 carats per tonne is approximately 40 percent higher than the 25 tonne mini-bulk sample recovered last winter/spring. The summer/fall mini bulk sample was recovered from the north lobe of the Kelvin kimberlite, while the winter/spring sample was recovered from the shallower and partly outcropping southeast lobe.

Patrick Evans, CEO of Kennady, commented:

We are very pleased with the latest diamond recovery results, which confirm that the Kelvin kimberlite has the potential to host a high-grade diamond resource. Based on drilling and sampling completed to date, we estimate that the Kelvin – Faraday kimberlite cluster has the potential to host between 9 and 12 million tonnes. Drilling to extend the strike of the Kelvin kimberlite to the northwest will resume in mid-January.
