Hi Frank, No diamonds here I'm afraid <g>. Next week the company expects to begin drilling a major conductive zone outlined by the 1997 transient EM (DEEPEM) survey on the Little Deer Pond property on the Springdale Peninsula in North Eastern Newfoundland - The island not the mainland. Target minerals are Copper Zinc, Gold.

Here is an excerpt from a press release date May 4/98

Of prime interest is a definite bedrock conductor identified by a Transient EM geophysical survey along strike parallel to the Little Deer massive sulphide deposit. Two and possibly three 8-channel conductive horizons have been interpreted with a strike length of 1.5 kilometres.

The drilling of the 8-channel zones will commence approximately May 11, 1998.


There is also some fairly detailed geological info at the company's website located at mutapa.com

Mr. David Cook reports
The drilling program on the Little Deer project, Springdale Peninsula,
Newfoundland, has begun.
An eight-channel conductor together with two weaker, parallel conductors were
identified by a transient EM (deep EM) geophysical survey carried out for the
company in 1997. The stronger conductor has been traced for a length of 1.5km.
The weak conductor 75m to the north of the eight-channel conductor is coincident
with a former producing mine, the Little Deer massive sulphide deposit.
Drilling by Brinex in the 1960s is believed to have intersected the top of the
stronger conductor while deep drilling the Little Deer mine. One of these holes
intersected 25 ft of 5 per cent copper.

(I understand the first hole is 400 metres and the drill rate is approx 80 metres per day.)
