Lithoquest Diamonds Commences Drill Program on the North Kimberley Diamond Project

03.10.2019  |  Accesswire

VANCOUVER, October 3, 2019 - Lithoquest Diamonds Inc. (TSXV:LDI) ("Lithoquest", or the "Company") today announced that a truck-mounted reverse circulation drill rig has arrived and begun drilling on its 100% owned North Kimberley Diamond Project ("NKDP") located in Western Australia.

The Company anticipates drill testing Targets 1805, 1826 and 1827 during the 2019 program. Additional targets may also be tested, time permitting. Samples of the drill cuttings will be collected and logged on site under a strict QA/AC protocol. An XRF (X-ray fluorescence) instrument will be used to confirm the presence of kimberlite. If intersected, samples of the kimberlite will be submitted to an Australian laboratory for indicator mineral analysis and diamond testing.

"We are excited to begin our second drill program," stated Bruce Counts, President and CEO of Lithoquest Diamonds. "Results to date, including the discovery of the 1804 kimberlite in 2018, indicate that a field of diamond-bearing kimberlites may be present on the NKDP. The 2019 drill program is an opportunity to make new discoveries and significantly advance the project".

The 1804 kimberlite was discovered in 2018 by Lithoquest during its first drill program. It is approximately 600 million years younger than other known kimberlites in the region and is therefore believed to represent a newly discovered, distinct cluster. Additionally, the 1804 kimberlite is multi-phase and exhibits volcanoclastic textures. These geological characteristics suggest the potential for large bodies to exist within the field.

The Company has identified more than 20 priority target areas on the North Kimberley Diamond Project. Results from field work conducted earlier this year continue to be received and are being used to define drill targets as well as identify new areas of interest on the 1,500 square-kilometre project.
