MELBOURNE, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Diamond miner and explorer Ashton Mining Ltd said on Wednesday its Canadian subsidiary Aston Mining of Canada Inc
(Toronto:ACA.TO - news) released more encouraging results from its diamond find in Canada's northern Alberta on Tuesday.

Ashton Canada said analysis of mini-bulk samples from the diamond-bearing kimberlite formation, K14, yielded diamonds and diamond fragments weighing 4.86
carats.

Five stones recovered weighed more than 0.18 carats, the largest weighing 0.6 carats.

''The results are an encouraging indication that kimberlite K14 contains a population of diamonds of commercial size,'' Aston Canada said.
