Canabrava is involved in a few diamond explorations projects in Ontario.

In the Wawa area, results have been «mixed»: kimberlite or lamprophyre dykes, a «couple» of small diamonds but nothing impressive (other players are now quiet in this area)

In the Frontenac project (near the border with Québec), kimberlites were discovered, but like most ot them in this area, they were not economically mineralized.

The project I like most is the Severn Joint Venture (Canabrava - Navigator). It is not far from the Victor pipe where De Beers Canada has done 10,000 tonne bulk sampling program. It seems to be located on the extension of same structure explored in Québec by MAJ (called the Wemindji/Kanapiskau break).

I will tell you a secret: the more north you go on the Superior Craton, the more kimberlites you find and the more diamondiferous they are. Chutttt........it's a secret!
