TRES-OR DISCOVERS NEW KIMBERLITIC BRECCIA IN QUEBEC
Tres-Or Resources Ltd.'s first drill hole in the summer 2008 drill program in Quebec has discovered kimberlitic breccia at 36 metres (m) (31 m vertical) beneath overburden and exited kimberlite at 70.5 m. This discovery hole is drilling at an inclination of 60 degrees. The target is a previously untested geophysical anomaly located within Tres-Ore's Notre Dame du Nord properties in the Timiskaming region of northwestern Quebec.
Further drilling will delineate this new discovery, followed immediately by drill testing of a second similar geophysical target located approximately five kilometres to the southwest. The discovery hole, and any delineation holes in kimberlite, will be tested for microdiamonds and indicator mineral chemistry, with results reported when available later this summer.
Diamond Discoveries (Canada) Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary or Diamond Discoveries International Corp., has entered into a letter of intent agreement to earn up to a 50-per-cent interest in certain of the Notre Dame du Nord, Que., properties by spending a total of $1.5-million in exploration. Tres-Or is the project operator.
Dr. Harrison Cookenboo, PhD, PGeo, a consulting geologist and a qualified person by the standards of National Instrument 43-101, has examined the drill core in the field and reviewed the contents of this news release. Dr. Cookenboo is responsible for the design and the implementation of the field programs.
