SouthernEra Resources (SUF-T) has discovered three new kimberlite occurrences at its Klipspringer project in South Africa.
A kimberlite fissure with an estimated width of 1.5 metres was encountered in several reverse-circulation drill holes testing coincident indicator mineral and magnetic anomalies.
This occurrence is 14 km from the previously identified Leopard and Sugarbird fissures, which are undergoing advanced development, including bulk sampling.
The second discovery was made 4 km from the first new occurrence. Drilling in this area intersected a kimberlite body at least 7 metres in true width. The body is associated with an extensive, indicator-mineral soil anomaly where, in earlier work, four small diamonds were found.
SouthernEra found the third occurrence while prospecting a 3-ha target area with abundant kimberlitic minerals. The kimberlite here was found in discontinuous outcrops and float.
SouthernEra intends to carry out followup exploration of these targets in the coming weeks, as well as ongoing regional exploration.
