Kennady Completes Kelvin North Lobe Bulk Sample

(IDEX Online News) – Kennady Diamond Inc. has announced that it has successfully completed the Kelvin North Lobe bulk sampling program, during which it recovered approximately 580 tons of kimberlite – surpassing the 500 ton target.

Kennady said that in addition, the company has three ice-based infill large diameter reverse circulation holes at the Kelvin Southeast Lobe, which are designed to improve geological modeling.

The company also announced that it had performed a mini-bulk sample of approximately 20 tons from the Faraday 2 kimberlite, although warmer weather conditions did require Kennady to cease the sampling program.

Ice-based exploration drilling at the Hobbes anomaly is also continuing. The company found volcanistic kimberlite at Hobbes during the winter of 2015, warranting further exploration.
