Kimberlites K-11, K-92 and K-10 are in a cluster centred approximately 30
kilometres east of K-14. The recent analyses tabulated above indicate that
all are diamondiferous, with K-11 returning a higher count of particular
interest. K-11 is indicated by a magnetic anomaly measuring approximately
500 metres by 250 metres, and was discovered in a vertical reverse
circulation hole which penetrated 13.4 metres of overburden. Further work
will be planned to follow-up these encouraging results from this new
diamondiferous cluster in the Buffalo Hills area.
The negative results from K-95 follow those reported on April 29, 1998 and
confirm the apparent lesser prospectivity of this pipe in the southern
cluster.
The joint venturers on the central Buffalo Hills project are Ashton Mining
of Canada (42.5 per cent), Alberta Energy Company (42.5 per cent) and Pure
Gold Minerals (15 per cent). Ashton is operator of the programs.
