About the Kahuna Project
Dunnedin Ventures' primary asset is the 1,200 square kilometre Kahuna project, an advanced stage high grade diamond and gold property located near Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, where Dunnedin is earning a 100% interest. The Company anticipates beginning a drilling and bulk sampling program in 2017 that will test potential extensions to its existing Inferred Resources of over 4 million carats of diamonds (see Dunnedin news release of January 26, 2015), assemble a valuation parcel of approximately 1,000 carats of commercial-sized diamonds, and test a number of newly defined high priority kimberlite targets that may host additional diamond sources.
The Kahuna project is located adjacent to Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.'s (TSE: AEM) Meliadine gold project and the Peter Lake gold project of NxGold Ltd. (TSX-V: NXN). Gold results at Kahuna include visible gold in drill core, gold mineralization in the strike extension of the Meliadine host stratigraphy, and new gold-in-till targets proximal to diamond-bearing kimberlites. Agnico's Meliadine project has approximately 14.5 million tonnes of Proven and Probable Reserves grading 7.32 g/t gold, containing 3.4 million ounces of gold as of December 31, 2015. There is an additional Indicated Resource of 20.7 million tonnes grading 4.95 g/t gold containing 3.3 million ounces of gold, and an additional Inferred Resource of 14.7 million tonnes grading 7.51 g/t gold containing 3.5 million ounces of gold (source: www.agnicoeagle.com).
