I'm very keen on MTX. IMHO the market cap is what could cause MTX to be one of the short term explosive stories that we look for. CF is doing a 200 ton sample for obvious good reason. He has been outlining them in releases for months! Due to the slow progress of the ATTA play many may be skeptical, however T1 or Greenland could prove just as rich. With limited major partners I think it is also one of the better plays. No RIO, Debeers, or partners to screw it all up. Only Chuck can do that and I think he learned his leasson last time! So, how long does a 200 ton sample take? The choppers should be flying in soon now. It's almost time to see if the deposit is there in quantity! Then hold on as others clue in. The limited float will make for a ride. Even more so if the rocks are worth decent dollars.

Dianor recovers 3,381 diamonds from Leadbetter 2006-03-28 17:13 ET - News Release Mr. John Ryder reports 3,381 DIAMONDS INCLUDING 19 COMMERCIAL SIZED STONES RECOVERED FROM FIFTH DRILL HOLE ON THE LEADBETTER DIAMOND PROPERTY - DIAMOND TREND CONTINUES TO THE EAST Dianor Resources Inc. has received diamond results from the Saskatchewan Research Council's (SRC) laboratory for split NQ and full BQ core from drill hole Chab 05-12.

BR equals Leadbetter diamond-bearing conglomerate. NQ (47.6-millimetre) drill core from 9.7 to 313.5 metres, core split and only half core tested for diamonds by caustic fusion. BQ (36.5-millimetre) drill core from 313.5 metres to end of drill hole at 429 metres. Full core tested for diamonds by caustic fusion. A total of 155 samples (88 NQ plus 67 BQ) were caustically fused to recover diamonds. The largest diamond, not included in the above table as it was recovered from the plus-1,700-micron screen, measured 2.24 millimetres by 1.60 millimetres by 1.46 millimetres and weighed 0.062 carat, and is described as amber, included dodecahedron. Drill hole Chab 05-12 is located 200 metres to the east of drill hole Chab 05-11 along the east-west fence of holes commencing with Chab 05-08. Results from these four drill holes (news in Stockwatch dated of Sept. 22, Nov. 21, Dec. 21, 2005, Jan. 24, 2006) indicate that diamonds are persistent throughout the Leadbetter conglomerate along the drilled fence for a distance of 800 metres in an east-west direction. Diamond results from a further three drill holes (Chab 05-13, 05-14 and 05-19) drilled to the east of Chab 05-12 are awaited. Results will be released when received from SRC.

The top portion of drill hole Chab 05-12 intersected a 32.97-metre interval (from 9.70 to 42.67 metres) of diamondiferous (two diamonds) volcanic rock that may be related to the Leadbetter conglomerate. This was followed by a 33.76-metre interval (from 42.67 to 76.43 m), which intersected the Leadbetter conglomerate. Split core from this interval contained 112 diamonds. Underlying this (from 76.43 to 129.50 m), a succession of intercalated sediments and volcanics was intersected and found to carry one diamond. Below this, from 129.50 to 198.93 metres down the hole (69.43-metre intercept), the Leadbetter conglomerate was intersected. Caustic fusion results indicate that this interval contained 261 diamonds. Below this interval a thin (3.57-metre) sandstone unit was intercepted, containing one diamond. Then from 202.5 to 417.15 metres the Leadbetter conglomerate was intersected. Split NQ and full BQ core from this interval contained 3,008 diamonds. Drill hole Chab 05-12 ended in a siltstone-sandstone unit, which contained no diamonds. Results of the caustic fusion diamond recovery continue to demonstrate the persistently diamondiferous nature of the conglomerate. The occurrence of larger-sized diamonds (commercial size greater than 0.85 millimetre) in the small samples of split NQ and full BQ drill core is very encouraging. The diamond results from the first five drill holes, drilled in the northern sector of the Leadbetter diamond property, are nearly identical to those recovered from similar-sized samples taken from surface bedrock in the vicinity of the drill holes during the due diligence phase of the exploration (news in Stockwatch dated Feb. 15, 2005). These early diamond results from the drilling in conjunction with the surface diamond results also indicate diamond continuity through the conglomerate both laterally and at depth in this area of the northern sector. Processing of the mini-bulk samples through the DMS (density media separation) plant at SGS Lakefield continues with the first results expected by the end of April. Carl G.
