VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 14, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Management is pleased to announce the results of caustic fusion analyses from 19 surface samples of various kimberlite and lamprophyre dykes on the Diamond Discoveries (OTCBB:DMDD) Torngat Mountains project in north eastern Quebec. The caustic fusion analyses were done by Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Sample sizes ranged from 5.1 kg (11.4 lbs) to 72.95 kg (163.4 lbs).
One sample, No. 90943 from the K-25 dyke in the southwest corner of the property produced one microdiamond weighing 0.026 milligrams. The diamond size was 0.38 mm long by 0.30 mm wide by 0.1 mm high. The diamond was clear and colourless. The sample size was 21.50 kg (48.16 lbs). This is the fourth dyke that has been found to contain macro diamonds or microdiamonds. The K-25 dyke which is three to five metres wide has been traced on surface for over five kilometers. The K-25 dyke is 10 kilometers south-west and on strike with the K-9 dyke which crosses the Round Lake Pipe. This is the fourth separate dyke in which macrodiamonds or microdiamonds have been found. The other dykes which contain diamonds are the A-dyke, B-dyke and F-dyke.
The 2004 fall drilling season has been completed and the core samples have been sent to Saskatchewan Research Council for caustic fusion analysis. The drill has been left on site so that the company can get an early spring start to drilling the more than 35 targets defined by surface exploration.
