Lytton Minerals Limited New Indigo Resources Inc. Caustic fusion results from the Contwoyto - 1 kimberlite

(TSE/VSE: LTL) (ASE: NDR)

TORONTO, Nov. 30 /CNW/ - Lytton Minerals Limited (''Lytton'') and New
Indigo Resources Inc. (''New Indigo'') are pleased to report the caustic
fusion analysis results from the recently discovered Contwoyto - 1 kimberlite
in the Greater Jericho area.
In total, 90.2 kg of core was processed yielding 169 diamonds. The
diamonds were recovered using a square mesh with 150 micron openings as the
bottom cut-off size. Of the 169 stones recovered, 26 stones measured greater
than 0.5 mm in one dimension, 12 stones measured greater than 0.5 mm in two
dimensions, and one stone measured greater than 1 mm in two dimensions. The
Contwoyto - 1 kimberlite is believed to be a partial source of the
diamondiferous float recovered in the immediate vicinity during the Summer
exploration program.
The results compare favourably with other diamond counts reported in the
Northwest Territories, and Lytton and New Indigo are now preparing for future
exploration programs which will include further delineation and sampling of
the Contwoyto - 1 kimberlite.
