Vancouver – Hudson Resources (HUD-V) managed to strike kimberlite in 18 of 19 holes drilled at its Garnet Lake property in West Greenland this spring.
Crews drilled six holes from four set-ups, up to 100 metres apart on Garnet Lake. Approximately nine kimberlite intercepts, averaging 0.78 metres wide were recovered in each hole. The largest uninterrupted kimberlite intercept was a near-surface occurrence of 4.26 metres which has an expected true width of 3.9 m.
A float sample of the Garnet Lake kimberlite generated 151 diamonds in a 108 kg sample last year, of which 9 were classified as macrodiamonds weighing a total of 0.088 carats.
The company is encouraged by the discovery of in-situ kimberlite at Garnet Lake and can now safely say that the diamondiferous kimberlite found at Garnet Lake was locally derived.
Kimberlite core samples will be shipped for diamond and indicator mineral processing.
