Tres-Or Resources Ltd. reported that 48 more microdiamonds have been recovered from new samples of the 100%-owned Guigues kimberlite pipe in southwestern Quebec by the Saskatchewan Research Council Geoanalytical Laboratories Diamond Services (SRC).All but three of the recovered microdiamonds are described by SRC as white/colourless and transparent with no or minor inclusions. Only one microdiamond is described as having noticeable inclusions.
Recovered microdiamonds are well distributed throughout the pipe.
Tres-Or will be looking to identify potentially higher-grade kimberlite phases as additional sample data become available, resourceworld.com notes.
