Dianor’s Quebec diamond discovery

Dianor Resources Inc., in conjunction with its joint venture partners Metalex Ventures Limited and Wemindji Exploration Inc. announces further diamond results from their new diamond discovery in Quebec. Additional diamonds have been recovered from surface rock samples on the Joint Venture’s Ekomiak V property and on the adjacent Dianor’s 100% owned PEM property in the James Bay region of Quebec. Diamonds and gold have been recovered from similar rocks on the Ekomiak IV property located some 75 kilometres ENE of the PEM.

One thousand seven hundred and sixty three (1,763) diamonds were recovered from twenty one (21) out of thirty nine (39) conglomerate rock samples recently processed for diamonds from the three properties. A single thirty five kilogram (35 kg) conglomerate sample from the PEM property contained five hundred and forty two (542) diamonds. Sixteen rare purple diamonds were recently recovered from these rocks on the PEM and Ekomiak V properties.

The largest diamond recovered was an amber, clear fragment measuring 1.06mm x 0.76mm x 0.52 mm from the Ekomiak V property. SRC is currently describing (colour, dimensions etc) all of the diamonds recovered to date at their laboratory. Currently only full results are available for diamonds greater than +300 microns.

To date, results have been received for seventy (70) of the one hundred and seventy eight (178) outcrop samples taken from the PEM, Ekomiak IV and the Ekomiak V properties. Based on these results from the three properties, sixty seven percent (67%) of the samples contain diamonds and two samples from Ekomiak IV contain flakes (2) and small pieces (2) of gold. 90% of the conglomerate samples from Ekomiak V are diamond bearing.
