Forest Gate Recovers 118 Diamonds from the 121 Kimberlite Pipe
MONTREAL, le 27 nov. /CNW Telbec/ - Forest Gate Resources Inc. reports that it has recovered 118 diamonds from two three-inch diameter drill holes targeting its portion of the 121 Kimberlite pipe located on its East Side Property near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The 121 Kimberlite pipe spills eastward across the shared boundary with Shore Gold on the eastern flank of the massive Fort a la Corne diamond field.
The 118 diamond tally also includes 10 macrodiamonds, stones with two faces greater than 0.5 millimetres, with the largest measuring 1.91 mm x 1.20 mm x 0.68 mm. Eighty seven of the 118 diamonds are coloured white while one is coloured yellow. The 118 diamonds came from 216.7 kilograms of split core that was sent to SGS Lakefield of Lakefield, Ontario for microdiamond analysis. The results are as follows.

The two vertical three-inch diameter drill holes, FG06-30 and FG06-31, were collared approximately 180 metres apart in the north - south direction and had kimberlite intercepts of 23.2 metres and 22.7 metres respectively.
"What I like is that we have diamondiferous kimberlite right off the top of the pipe." said Steve Roebuck, Forest Gate's Vice President of Exploration. "We hit kimberlite around the 140 metre depth interval and all the units sampled are diamondiferous."
