Pangolin 100 Positive Kimberlite Indicators

Pangolin Diamonds Corp has recovered two diamonds and 100 positive kimberlite indicators from a 4 hectare soil sampling grid at the MAL 001 drill target located in the Company’s wholly-owned Malatswae Project. This area is 85 km southeast of the AK6 Karowe diamond mine, operated by Lucara Diamonds Corp., in the Central District of Botswana.

 

The majority of the indicators analysed are garnets (93) and consist predominantly of peridotic garnets which include 4 garnets and an additional 41 garnets consistent with a derivation from the diamond stability field. Only 2 eclogitic garnets were recovered. The chrome poor megacryst garnets are very similar to the megacryst garnets reported from Group II kimberlites like Dokolwayo in Swaziland.

 

Two diamonds, both in excess of 1mm in long axis size, were also recovered from the soil samples at MAL001.  The presence of the diamonds is consistent with the observed garnet compositions above.

 

Microprobe analysis and the ranking of the indicators relative to diamond potential using proprietary techniques have been conducted at CF Minerals and in-house classification systems.  C.F. Mineral Research Ltd. is ISO 9001 Certified and all processes within are ISO 17025 Compliant.
