Kennecott is benefitting from its drilling efforts in the Lac de Gras region of the Northwest Territories.
A program focused on the WO block has intersected an 82-metre-thick interval of volcaniclastic, mud-rich, indicator-bearing kimberlite close to the previously tested DO-29 body.
Kennecott Canada Exploration, a division of Rio Tinto (RTP-N), collared the vertical hole 100 metres north of a 1993 hole that encountered indicator-poor kimberlite (in what is reported to be a different phase of kimberlite). The recent hole was drilled to test an offset electromagnetic geophysical ground anomaly. Samples are being sent to Kennecott’s lab in Thunder Bay, Ont.
The WO claim block is held 40% by Kennecott, 35% by DHK Resources, 15% by Aber Resources (ABZ-T) and 10% by SouthernEra Resources (SUF-T). DHK Resources is equally owned by Dentonia Resources (DTA-V), Horseshoe Gold Mining (HSX-A) and Kettle River Resources (KRR-T).
