VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 30, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Management is pleased to announce the discovery of kimberlite in the first hole drilled on the Diamond Discoveries Torngat Mountains project in north eastern Quebec. The first hole was drilled at an angle of -45 degrees into the St. Pierre Dyke, near where surface samples were confirmed as kimberlites by petrographic analysis. The drill hole intersected kimberlite material from 75.5 feet to 98 feet for a total length of 22.5 feet. This reflects a true dyke thickness of 17.8 feet. Preliminary observation of the core recognized pyrope garnet, picroilmenite and forsteritic olivine, all indicator minerals for kimberlite and potentially diamonds. Our field geologist is presently completing a detailed log of the drill core and will report on the results when finished. At the end of the drill program the kimberlite core will be boxed and shipped to George River and then on to Saskatchewan Research Laboratories for caustic fusion analysis.
The next hole has been collared from the same location, only drilled at an angle of -60 degrees to the horizontal. The hole is designed to cut the dyke below the first hole providing a dip measurement to the dyke.
