An exploration program by the African subsidiary of Ashton Mining will test the diamond potential of the Kenieba project in Mali, West Africa.
The project is 49% held by Vancouver-based Mink Mineral Resources (MKM-V).
The joint venture was allowed three years to explore and select 25% of the total acreage currently held under an exploration permit. The remainder must be relinquished to the government by January 1999.
As a result of this requirement, the current work program is aimed at discovering the maximum number of kimberlite pipes, or alluvial deposits, within the land package.
Mink also holds 100% of the Niaouleni gold concession in Mali.
