North Arrow Commences Exploration Program

Toronto: North Arrow Minerals Inc. has started a $3.2M exploration program at its 100% owned Naujaat (formerly Qilalugaq) and Mel Diamond Projects in Canada.

At Naujaat, the company plans to conduct 4,500m of drilling intended to better delineate the Q1-4 kimberlite and collect a 200 tonne mini-bulk sample to characterize the macrodiamond population, including a population of rare, fancy orangey yellow diamonds.

Also, North Arrow starts detailed prospecting and geophysical surveys of high priority kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) targets at Mel project, which could result in the discovery of a new kimberlite field.

Ken Armstrong, President and CEO of North Arrow, stated, "We are pleased that drilling is underway at the Naujaat Project for the first time in over 12 years. Q1-4 is a large kimberlite, having a surface area in excess of 12 ha and excellent potential to extend at depth beyond the reach of past drilling efforts. The current program will provide important information to confirm and update the size of the Q1-4 kimberlite as well as improve our understanding of its internal geology and diamond distribution within the deposit."
