Peregrine Diamonds reported new diamond results from the CH-6 kimberlite that support previous results from that kimberlite. In addition, coarse diamond size distributions were received from samples of the CH-10 and CH-12 kimberlites, situated on the 9,800 sq km Chidliak project, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. A 111.4 kilogram sample of drill core collected from CH-10 yielded 152 diamonds larger than the 0.075 mm sieve size, including two diamonds larger than the 0.600 mm sieve size. A 251.7 kilogram sample of surface kimberlite collected from CH-12 yielded 270 diamonds larger than the 0.075 mm sieve size, including three diamonds larger than the 0.600 mm sieve size. The CH-9 and CH-11 kimberlites were also determined to be diamondiferous. A 216.8 kilogram surface sample of CH-9 yielded two diamonds, one larger than the 0.075 mm sieve and one larger than the +0.106 sieve size and a 210.0 kilogram surface sample from CH-11 yielded one +0.075 mm stone.
Peregrine Diamonds reported the first caustic fusion diamond results from drill core collected from the CH-1 kimberlite on the 9,800 square kilometre Chidliak project, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. A 178.8 kilogram sample of drill core collected from a drill hole intersecting the northern portion of CH-1 yielded 322 diamonds larger than the 0.075 mm sieve size, including five diamonds larger than the 0.600 mm sieve size.
Peregrine Diamonds Ltd. report the discovery of a 0.64 carat diamond and a coarse diamond size distribution in a surface sample collected from the CH-7 kimberlite on the 9,800 square kilometre Chidliak project, Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada. A 220.9 kilogram sample collected from CH-7 yielded 664 diamonds larger than the 0.075 mm sieve size, including 11 diamonds larger than the 0.600 mm sieve size. The CH-4 and CH-8 kimberlites are also diamondiferous with 201.6 and 187.9 kilogram samples of drill core and surface material respectively yielding 15 and 17 diamonds larger than the 0.075 mm sieve size including one diamond larger than the 0.600 mm sieve size from CH-4.
