North Arrow Minerals Inc. (
TSX: V.NAR,
NHAWF,
Forum) on Wednesday reported final diamond recoveries from composite mini-bulk samples of four units within the Q1-4 kimberlite at the Naujaat Diamond Project, Nunavut.
The samples reported in Wednesday’s release were collected as part of the 2017 delineation drill program, details of which were reported in a news release dated September 12, 2017.
The samples were composited from drill core in the field based on observed lithological units and submitted for processing using a combined dense media separation/caustic fusion process. The intention was to recover diamond greater than 0.425 millimetres.
The largest diamond was recovered from unit A28 and weighs 0.25 carats.
The purpose of these composite samples is to provide diamond recovery information to supplement results from smaller drill core samples submitted for microdiamond (caustic fusion) analyses, including recovery of diamonds greater than 0.106 millimetres.
The diamond recoveries reported in Wednesday’s release will be used to support incoming microdiamond sample results expected over the next eight weeks.
