Iciena Ventures announced that kimberlites located on its Batovi property in Brazil are diamondiferous. Ten kimberlite samples ranging from 53.86 to 214.40 kilograms were collected by pitting or augering. The samples were processed at CF Mineral Research Ltd for diamonds and diamond indicator minerals. Three kimberlites returned diamonds and all contained diamond indicator minerals. More pitting and augering is planned. This program will test targets identified by the airborne geophysical survey that have not previously been tested.
Announced that kimberlites located on its Batovi property are diamondiferous. Iciena is pleased to report that results have shown that the property contains diamondiferous kimberlites. Ten kimberlite samples ranging from 53.86 to 214.40 kilograms were collected by pitting or augering. The samples were processed at CF Mineral Research Ltd for diamonds and diamond indicator minerals. Select results are from the Trescaragoes kimberlite (17.7ha) 144.22 kg sample size returned 2 diamonds with diamond indicators. To allow prioritization of the anomalies for drilling a pitting and augering program is planned to commence shortly. This program will test targets identified by the airborne geophysical survey that have not previously been tested. As previously disclosed (March 26, 2008) there are a total of 20 untested priority one anomalies ranging in size up to 34 hectares. In addition there are 19 priority two anomalies and 10 priority three anomalies which have yet to be tested.

Data received from the helicopter borne magnetic and electromagnetic (TEM) geophysical survey previously conducted on the Batovi diamond exploration project. Twenty-eight high priority kimberlite anmalies were identified.
