The recent analyses tabulated above indicate that all are diamondiferous, with K-11 returning a higher count of particular interest. K-11 is indicated by a magnetic anomaly measuring approximately 500 metres by 250 metres, and was discovered in a vertical reverse circulation hole which penetrated 13.4 metres of overburden. Further work will be planned to follow-up these encouraging results from this new diamondiferous cluster in the Buffalo Hills area. The negative results from K-95 follow those reported on April 29, 1998 and confirm the apparent lesser prospectivity of this pipe in the southern cluster. The joint venturers on the central Buffalo Hills project are Ashton Mining of Canada (42.5 per cent), Alberta Energy Company (42.5 per cent) and Pure Gold Minerals (15 per cent). Ashton is operator of the programs. (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com
