Kennady Diamonds Inc. (TSXV:KDI) announced the discovery of a macro diamond at its Faraday 2 kimberlite. The gem, which is still partially embedded in kimberlite, was found during core logging on July 15, 2015.
Patrick Evans, CEO of Kennady, commented:
It is exceptionally rare to find a macro diamond in drill core during logging and this is the second time that our geologists have made such a find. This is a reflection of the high diamond content of both the Kelvin and Faraday kimberlites.
As quoted in the press release:
The first diamond was found in August 2014 during logging of core from the Kelvin kimberlite and was described as a 0.94 carat white/colorless transparent octahedral twin with etched trigons.
The core containing the Faraday 2 diamond will be processed by caustic fusion at the Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services of the Saskatchewan Research Council and the final weight and description of this diamond will be announced as soon as those results are received.
