- NQ (47.6mm) drill core from 9.7 to 313.5 metres, core split and only
half core tested for diamonds by caustic fusion.
- BQ (36.5mm) drill core from 313.5 metres to end of drill hole at
429 metres. Full core tested for diamonds by caustic fusion.
- A total of 155 samples (88 NQ + 67 BQ) caustically fused to recover
diamonds.
- Largest diamond, not included in the above table as it was recovered
from the +1700 Micron screen, measured 2.24 mm x 1.60 mm x 1.46 mm and
weighed 0.062 carats and is described as amber, included dodecahedron.
Drill hole Chab 05-12 is located 200 metres to the east of drill hole
Chab 05-11 along the east-west fence of holes commencing with Chab 05-08.
Results from these four drill holes (press releases of September 22,
November 21, December 22, 2005, January 23, 2006) indicate that diamonds are
persistent throughout the Leadbetter conglomerate along the drilled fence for
a distance of 800 metres in an east-west direction. Diamond results from a
further three drill holes (Chab 05 - 13; 05 - 14 and 05 - 19) drilled to the
east of Chab 05 - 12 are awaited. Results will be released when received from
SRC.

The top portion of drill hole Chab 05-12 intersected a 32.97 metre
interval (from 9.70 to 42.67 m) of diamondiferous (2 diamonds) volcanic rock
that may be related to the Leadbetter conglomerate. This was followed by a
33.76 metre interval (from 42.67 to 76.43 m), which intersected the Leadbetter
conglomerate. Split core from this interval contained 112 diamonds. Underlying
this, (from 76.43 to 129.50 m), a succession of intercalated sediments and
volcanics was intersected and found to carry 1 diamond. Below this, from
129.50 to 198.93 metres down the hole (69.43 m intercept), the Leadbetter
conglomerate was intersected. Caustic fusion results indicate that this
interval contained 261 diamonds. Below this interval a thin (3.57 m) sandstone
unit was intercepted, containing 1 diamond. Then from 202.5 to 417.15 metres
the Leadbetter conglomerate was intersected. Split NQ and full BQ core from
this interval contained 3,008 diamonds. Drill hole Chab 05-12 ended in a
siltstone-sandstone unit, which contained no diamonds.
Results of the caustic fusion diamond recovery continue to demonstrate
the persistently diamondiferous nature of the conglomerate. The occurrence of
larger sized diamonds (commercial size greater than 0.85mm) in the small
samples of split NQ and full BQ drill core is very encouraging.
The diamond results from the first five drill holes, drilled in the
Northern sector of the Leadbetter Diamond property, are nearly identical to
those recovered from similar sized samples taken from surface bedrock in the
vicinity of the drill holes during the due diligence phase of the exploration
(press release February 14th 2005). These early diamond results from the
drilling in conjunction with the surface diamond results also indicate diamond
continuity through the conglomerate both laterally and at depth in this area
of the Northern Sector.
Processing of the mini-bulk samples through the DMS (Density Media
Separation) plant at SGS Lakefield continues with the first results expected
by end-April.
