The Northern Miner, at one time, published a map of the Quebec ground staked by the diamond companies. Some diamonds were found years ago and there ws a bit of a run up. Then nothing more came of it and except for a few people who've kept an eye on the play, it has largely been forgotten. Of course, a new find would bring the whole thing instantly back to life. The exploration around Wawa, Ont. has been more active ever since SPQ found diamonds in an outcrop and a prospector panned three industrial diamonds of good size. There is a long history of individual diamonds turning up. Goes back before the turn of the century. Around WWII some diamonds turned up in a drill core. I was regarded as a fluke and wasn't followed up. There definitely are diamonds in both Ontario and Quebec but nothing commercial so far. Every so often the Wawa area causes a bit of a rush.Lot of juniors have broken the bank looking. KPG was the last one I remember. Got kimberlite okay but no diamonds. Check the Northern Miner back issues. Of course there may be changes because some companies may have let go of their claims.
