The badysis of the Free State kimberlites of Botswana diamonds listed by Aim indicates a high abundance of diamond inclusion type chemical compositions, thus qualifying these kimberlites as very interesting in terms of diamond potential, the company said on Tuesday. . The results also indicate a prevalence of G9 and some G10 garnets, similar to the chemical signatures found in neighboring emblematic mines at Jagersfontein and Koffiefontein, the miner added, noting that this finding supports the findings of geochemistry Geophysics justifies the shift to a phased drilling program
"Vutomi, our badociated company in South Africa, is very active.The final badyzes of the samples of the eight Free State kimberlites improve the prospects for pipes containing diamonds," commented the president John Teeling noting that a drilling campaign will follow.
According to Teeling, Vutomi was granted a prospecting permit near the Cullinan mine on three kimberlite pipes known to contain diamonds. He cites this as a valuable addition to the miner's portfolio of exploration badets.
Botswana Diamonds added that Vutomi obtained exploration rights on portions 1, 3, 5 and 7 of the Palmietgat Farm in Limpopo, approximately 50 km north of the Petra Diamond Mine in Cullinan.
The Palmietgat area consists of six diamondiferous kimberlite pipes, three of which are located in the prospecting area, which adjoins the Palmietgat mine, formerly operated by Palmietgat's Trivalence
in 2003 and 2004, valued at approximately $ 60.68 / ct, or about $ 3.85 million, and reported resources of 3.5 million tonnes at an estimated grade of 44 carats per hundred tonnes, at a depth of 110 m for three kimberlites
Meanwhile, at the Mooikloof kimberlite chimney, a group of South African traders claimed to hold a valid mining license on part of the mining permit is a short-term permit designed for the Small-scale mining on very small areas up to 5 ha
Due to South African legislation that does not allow for overlapping rights, the minor engaged the Ministry of Re Mineral Resources (DMR) to review the processes that led to the alleged issue of this small license.
"Despite obtaining a notarized and notarized prospecting right on Mooikloof from the DMR, a local company claims to have a mining license on 5 ha of the property "We believe our title is clear and we will provide further updates about the claim where appropriate," said Teeling
