Kennady Diamonds Drills 215 meters of Kimberlite at Kelvin: Drill Hole Still in Kimberlite Shares Issued and Outstanding: 22,857,675 TSX-V: KDI •10,900 meters of drilling completed to date •22.5 tonnes of kimberlite recovered from Kelvin TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2014 /CNW/ - Kennady Diamonds Inc. ("Kennady Diamonds", the "Company") (TSX-V: KDI) is pleased to announce that over 215 meters of kimberlite has been intersected in delineation drill hole KDI-14-055 at the Kelvin kimberlite. Kimberlite was intersected from a downhole depth of 157.5 meters to 373 meters. The drill hole remains in kimberlite at 373 meters. Commenting, Kennady Diamonds CEO Patrick Evans said: "We are very pleased with the results of delineation drilling at the north end of the elongated Kelvin kimberlite, which continue to exceed expectations. A fan of three drill holes at minus 90 degrees, minus 80 degrees and minus 65 degrees has successfully delineated the Kelvin kimberlite to the north well beyond the current geological model. Preparations are now underway for the drilling of a fan of three further delineation holes to continue tracking Kelvin to the north". Drilling of delineation hole KDI-14-055 was temporarily stopped in kimberlite at a downhole depth of 373 meters due to unstable ground conditions in an area above the kimberlite at approximately 145 meters downhole. The drill contractors are assessing options to stabilize the ground so that drilling can resume. In the interim, drilling of four diagonal delineation holes (two from west to east and two from east to west) across the far north end of the Kelvin kimberlite will commence shortly. These diagonal delineation holes will allow positioning of the next fan of three northerly delineation holes at the center of the Kelvin pipe. Table 1 below provides details of the latest delineation holes drilled at the Kelvin kimberlite.

This is in addition to the 25 tonnes recovered from Kelvin during last spring's drill program. The 25 tonne mini-bulk sample is currently being processing at the Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services of the Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC"). Results are expected early in the fourth quarter of 2014. The focus of current drilling remains on delineation, exploration and mini-bulk sample drilling at the Kelvin kimberlite. Drilling at the Faraday, MZ and Doyle kimberlites, in addition to approximately four new exploration targets, is also planned prior to the end of the current drill season. In view of the continuing success of delineation drilling at the Kelvin kimberlite, the above drill plan may require modification. **** About Kennady Diamonds Kennady Diamonds Inc. controls 100 percent of the Kennady North diamond project located immediately to the north, west and south of the Gahcho Kué diamond mine currently under development by De Beers and Mountain Province Diamonds. Kennady Diamonds aims to identify a resource along the Kelvin – Faraday kimberlite corridor of between 7 and 10 million tonnes and also to identify new kimberlites outside of the corridor. This tonnage estimate is based on the drilling completed to date. The potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient drilling to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. An 8,500 meter drill program conducted in 2013 returned exceptional sample grades. A 4.3 tonne sample from the Kelvin kimberlite retuned a grade of 5.38 carats per tonne. An approx. one tonne sample from the Faraday kimberlite returned a sample grade of 5.10 carats per tonne. The three largest diamonds recovered from the Kelvin kimberlite were a 2.48 carat off-white transparent octahedral, 1.06 carat off-white broken aggregate and a 0.90 carat off-white transparent irregular. The recovery of diamonds of this size and quality from a 4.3 tonne sample is very encouraging.

Tonnage going north and love the fact that they have 3-4 more targets yet to drill. Blue skies?

Jedi, right you are! the Kelvin kimberlite dyke/pipe/body is very thick toward the north/northwest and still has not been not been defined. I still hope Evans will approve some exploration holes on Kennady property also. I understand that there are a number of geophysical anomalies.
