SouthernEra Diamonds Inc has discovered a new diamondiferous kimberlite at its 60 percent owned Lac de Gras X Claim Diamond Project in Canada's Northwest Territories, located 25 kilometers west of the Diavik Diamond Mine.

To date, six kimberlite pipes have been discovered at the X Claims Project of which four are diamondiferous.

Ten selected airborne targets will be tested during the upcoming winter season with ground geophysics followed by drill testing of positive targets
