Revised: Arctic Star Commences Drilling Highlights
-
Drilling has commenced on the Sequoia Kimberlite Complex.
-
The Phase 2 Heliborne EM and magnetic survey is complete.
-
Preliminary data shows previously untested kimberlite-like targets as well as evidence of untested parts to known kimberlites.
-
Ground based geophysical crews have commenced surveys to refine airborne targets.
April 26th, 2022 – TheNewswire - Vancouver, British Columbia – Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (“Arctic Star” or the “Company”) (TSXV:ADD) (Frankfurt:82A2) (WKN:A2DFY5) (OTC:ASDZF) is pleased to announce that the HQ diameter diamond drill program has begun on the Sequoia kimberlite complex. The first hole is situated 22 meters south of the original 2021 discovery hole. The proposed drill pattern is to drill a vertical hole to 200 meters in the interpreted east-west center of the kimberlite. After completion of the first hole a 2nd and 3rd angled hole will be drilled from the same site to the east and to the west until they exit the kimberlite. These are designed to find the country rock contacts of the north-south trending kimberlite complex. This pattern will be repeated at 200m spacings across the extent of the complex. This drill program will give an early first estimate of the geology, geometry, and tonnage of the kimberlite complex. Detailed core logging will define the different kimberlite phases and caustic fusion micro-diamond analysis will estimate the different diamond grades and populations.
