The Muskox kimberlite has two phases and is known to yield diamond grades in the magmatic phase of 0.53 carats per tonne and diamond grades in the pyroclastic phase of 0.35 carats per tonne from mini-bulk samples weighing 865 and 63 dry tonnes, respectively (2006).

President and CEO, Jim Greig commented, "Crystal is extremely excited to work and develop these projects where tens of millions of dollars of exceptional geological work was performed in the past. Rough diamond prices have increased near 200% since the historical exploration programs performed during the 1990's and 2000's. In addition to revisiting and understanding the potential at the Muskox diamond bearing pipe, the Crystal team is examining over 113 anomalies where De Beers Canada originally reported 15 high priority drill targets."
