Results from Majescor Resources‘ (MAJ-M) spring till-sampling survey in northern Quebec are in and they show the presence of diamond-indicator minerals.
Out of the 825 samples collected, 370 were from Majescor’s Wemindji property, 40 km east of James Bay, where the company is following up on several airborne geophysical anomalies.
Of the 370 samples, the company says 307 proved “positive,” including 85 that yielded more than 100 indicator minerals.
Majescor describes a larger, continuous anomaly at Wemindji as having features that indicate a kimberlite pipe is nearby. They include: high indicator counts; fragile textures on ilmenite or of primary grain morphology on garnet; an abundance of the more fragile species (forsterite olivine and chrome diopside); and the occurrence of kimberlite fragments.
The company plans to expand the coverage of its airborne geophysics and conduct ground geophysics over at least eight targets in preparation for a drilling program in October.
Majescor says many the remaining samples, which were taken from elsewhere in Quebec, contain indicator minerals and several distinct dispersion trains have been identified.
At the Portage property, farther east of Wemindji, Majescor is working with joint-venture partner BHP Diamonds, a subsidiary of BHP Billiton (BHP-N). They are about to begin a till-sampling survey and ground investigation of anomalies identified by airborne geophysical surveying.
