A preliminary comparison of the RJK garnet dataset to the global dataset of garnet compositions indicates that several RJK garnets plot within the G10 diamond stability field compared to other diamond inclusion garnets around the globe.

Key Points: 
  • A preliminary comparison of the RJK garnet dataset to the global dataset of garnet compositions indicates that several RJK garnets plot within the G10 diamond stability field compared to other diamond inclusion garnets around the globe.
  • Additional charts for olivine, ilmenite and chromite KIMs will be posted to RJK's website, also indicating a mantle source.
  • Figure 1 shows all diamond drill cores tested in one graph, and illustrates a portion of the Paradis Pond, KON, and one garnet from PP-20-09 plots in the G10 diamond stability field.
  • The KON kimberlite again shows the G10 diamond inclusion garnets to the left of the Dia/Gra Gruter line.

EL-20-88, collared 350 meters east of pivotal hole EL-19-80 (identified as E&L gabbro) intersected 142.79 meters of mineralized taxitic gabbro and olivine pyroxenite along trend of the E&L system.

Key Points: 
  • EL-20-88, collared 350 meters east of pivotal hole EL-19-80 (identified as E&L gabbro) intersected 142.79 meters of mineralized taxitic gabbro and olivine pyroxenite along trend of the E&L system.
  • This large step-out exhibited an E&L geochemical signature which expanded the strike length of the E&L gabbroic intrusion to over 650 meters within a 2km structural corridor that remains untested and open.
  • El-20-89 has produced the widest mineralized intercept so far from 71.34 meters to 223 meters returning nickel-copper mineralization over 151.6 meters grading 0.56% nickel and 0.61% copper.
  • Bore-hole EM responses from both holes detected multiple off-hole conductors, providing a vector towards high priority drill targets."

The new high grade gold mineralization discovery, now named the Larkin Gold Zone ("Larkin"), sits approximately 5 to 10 metres below the 30C nickel basalt / ultramafic contact which is further confirmation of the relationship between gold and nickel occurrences at Beta Hunt.

Key Points: 
  • The new high grade gold mineralization discovery, now named the Larkin Gold Zone ("Larkin"), sits approximately 5 to 10 metres below the 30C nickel basalt / ultramafic contact which is further confirmation of the relationship between gold and nickel occurrences at Beta Hunt.
  • The discovery of the new Larkin High Grade Gold Zone, located below the new 30C nickel discovery, is a strong validation of our exploration model at Beta Hunt and we are very excited to continue testing the interpretation across the zone.
  • At the new Larkin High Grade Gold Zone, drilling has returned some outstanding gold mineralization results both in drill core and channel samples taken from underground development in the zone.
  • Drilling (1,239 metres in 14 holes) targeting the 30C nickel trough has intersected high grade gold mineralization below the 30C nickel basalt/ultramafic contact.
