Pure Diamonds acquires Baffin Island project
by Tiffany Marlow
Pure Diamonds Exploration Inc., a pioneer in diamond exploration in Alberta, has acquired a 100% interest in the Baffin Island Project, which has been the site of two discoveries of kimberlite in situ associated with a large target area defined by kimberlite boulders, kimberlite indicator mineral anomalies and geophysical targets.
Two discoveries which includes, the discovery of the Amon kimberlite in 2005 and the discovery of the Aliguja kimberlite in 2006, define a prospective ENE-WSW kimberlite trend of over 2 kilometres, which is extended when including kimberlite float to over 5 kilometres along strike.
The company said that the micro diamond analyses from both the Aliguja and Amon boulder trains returned 263 and 234 micro diamonds from 99.3 and 136.2 kilograms respectively, strongly confirming the diamond potential from both of these kimberlite dyke systems.
A recent review of the results from the exploration to date by independent geological consultants, Apex Geoscience Ltd. (Apex), has identified a number of target areas for detailed exploration.
