Pangolin Finds First Diamond at Jwaneng South Diamond Project, Botswana, and Completes Groundmagnetic Survey over AK 10 Kimbe...
25 April 2018 - 10:00PM
Pangolin Diamonds Corp. (TSX-V:PAN) (the "Company"
or "Pangolin") is pleased to announce it has recovered a white
diamond from the Company's wholly-owned Jwaneng South Kimberlite
Project (“Jwaneng South”), in an area 100 km south of the Jwaneng
diamond mine in the Southern District Botswana.
The diamond was recovered from an unscreened 60
litre sample collected within a 10 square metre area of a GPS
controlled sample site. This material was dry screened in the field
to recover the +0.425 - 4.0 millimetre size fraction. The sample
was then transported to Francistown, Botswana and processed through
Pangolin's 1-tph DMS plant.
The white diamond measuring approximately 1 mm
in its long axis is a fragment of the original diamond. The
presence of a chrome spinel inclusion on the broken surface of the
diamond is interpreted to be an indication that the diamond is
close to source and transport distance is minimal. In addition to
the diamond, ilmenites with surfaces showing little or no wear
through transport have also been recovered from soil samples from
the same area during three phases of soil sampling.
A detailed groundmagnetic survey has been
completed over an area of 144 Ha and a magnetic anomaly has been
identified in the south of the area. The diamond is located
adjacent to the groundmagnetic anomaly.
An additional groundmagnetic survey extending
the existing survey area to the south and to the east is currently
being implemented. In addition, high density soil sampling is being
undertaken over the identified groundmagnetic anomaly.
An evaluation has commenced on the AK10
diamondiferous kimberlite pipe, located in the Orapa Kimberlite
Field. The AK10 kimberlites located 4 kilometres east of the Karowe
diamond mine owned and operated by Lucara Diamonds Corp. A detailed
groundmagnetic survey and a soil sampling programme consisting of
187 x 60 litre pre-screened samples have been completed. In
addition, a compilation of the historical exploration data is in
progress. Results of the groundmagnetic survey and soil sampling
programme will be announced once analysed and the data has been
interpreted.
