Pangolin’s Tsabong North Diamond Drilling Returns 45 Mantle-Derived Garnets

Pangolin Diamonds Corp (TSXV:PAN) announced that the first results of its diamond drilling program at the company’s Tsabong North Project situated in Botswana returned a significant number of high pressure garnets including G9s suggesting that it is near a diamondiferous kimberlite pipe.

As quoted in the press release:

The diamond drill core barrel used is a TNW standard diameter producing a 61 mm diameter core and the hole was drilled vertically. The garnets were liberated from a core sample taken at a depth of 22 metres below the surface. The core sample came from a glauconitic fine grained sandstone interval that extends from a depth of 16.2 m to 33.5 m. This unit presented very high counts of garnet grains on visual inspection and the sample submitted was picked as representative of the intersection.
