Consolidated Ramrod Gold Corporation, the predecessor company to Quest International Resources and now Standard Mining
Corporation, began exploration for diamonds on the Ice property in 1993. The initial program consisted of
airborne geophysics and reconnaissance stream sediment sampling for indicator minerals. The program
located 21 magnetic and/or resistivity anomalies and 25 anomalous stream sediment samples containing
significant numbers of G9 and G10 pyrope garnets, chrome diopsides, picro-ilmenites and chromites.

The 1994 follow-up exploration program focused on claims held in joint venture. This program found four
new kimberlite pipes, subsequently named the Bonus, Ram 5, Ram 6 and Ram 6.5 pipes. A hand-dug,
half cubic yard sample of kimberlite was taken from the Ram 5, Ram 6 and Ram 6.5 pipes. The samples
yielded abundant G9 and G10 pyrope garnets, chrome diopsides, picro-ilmenites, chromites and two
diamonds two millimeters in size.
