DIAMOND EXPLORATION – Leadbetter drilling unearths more diamonds

ONTARIO - DIANOR RESOURCES of Val dOr, Que., continues to recover diamonds from its Leadbetter property near Wawa. The Chab 05-19 drill hole, the last in the east-west section investigation, returned 2,966 diamonds from four intervals. The largest diamond recovered measured 1.97 x 1.28 x 1.09 mm, weighed 0.022 ct and was described as an off-white crystal fragment. The second largest diamond recovered measured 1.80 x 1.34 x 1.28 mm, weighed 0.0196 ct and was described as a white dodecahedron. Both diamonds were recovered from the DBR c level.

Diamonds were also recovered from a thin volcaniclastic horizon, stratigraphically below the conglomerates in this drill hole from 401.5 to 405.0 m. Similar horizons in drill holes Chab 06-44 and Chab 05-13 also contained diamonds.

Dianor recent named Graham Long as Leadbetter project manager to oversee the continuing exploration program. He is a graduate of Concordia University in Montreal, and was exploration manager at Agnico-Eagle mines when the Lapa gold deposit was discovered. He was also VP exploration at Contact Diamond Corp. until it was acquired by Stornoway Diamond Corp.
