Karelian Diamond Resources plc has started follow-up exploration programme focused on excavation and drilling in the Kuhmo region of eastern Finland.
TARGETS
The company said that operations were located “up-ice” of its green diamond discovery.
A total of 38 kimberlite targets have been identified from drone-based aeromagnetic data combined with kimberlite indicator sampling results and topology and geology of the area.
Karelian has begun initial site investigation on accessibility, detailed topography and geological exposures of the targets.
The company will then evaluate the targets through a pit excavation programme designed to identify bedrock kimberlite.
If bedrock is unreachable, drilling will test the targets for the presence of kimberlite.
Karelian will also collect till samples for further kimberlite indicator mineral studies.
