Diamonds North Provides Update on Mini-Bulk Sample Processing
=======================================================================
News Release: 08-35
VANCOUVER, November 4th, 2008 - Diamonds North Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:
DDN) reports that the processing of the mini-bulk sample from the
Tuktu-1, 2, 3 and Qavvik-4, 5 & 6 kimberlite clusters is well underway.
Final weights reported by the laboratory total 36.12 tonnes of drill
core including 21.63 tonnes from Tuktu-1, 2, 3 and 14.49 tonnes from
Qavvik-4, 5 & 6. Both kimberlite clusters are located on the Company's
100% owned Amaruk property in the Pelly Bay
Diamond District of
Nunavut.
To date all of the collected kimberlite sample has been crushed to
minus 6 millimetres and has undergone a first pass on the dense media
separation (DMS) plant. The remaining kimberlite will be crushed to
3.35 millimetres prior to a second pass through the DMS plant for final
separation.
Kimberlite concentrates will be picked for diamonds upon completion of
the second pass through the DMS plant.
This bulk sample is designed to evaluate the potential for larger
diamonds from these highly diamondiferous kimberlites (see News Release
NR08-17, May 27th, 2008, where 2850 diamonds were recovered from 412.15
kilograms from Tuktu-1B).
In addition,
Diamond analysis will be conducted on 7 new kimberlites
discovered on the Amaruk property in 2008, two of which are included in
the mini-bulk sample tonnage.
Diamonds North has discovered 29 kimberlites to date on the Amaruk
property. Of the 22 analyzed kimberlites, more than 90% of the known
kimberlites are diamondiferous and 50% exhibit
Diamond counts that
require follow-up exploration. Several hundred geophysical targets
remain to be tested on the property.
Bruce Kienlen (P.Geol) and Graham Gill (P. Geo) are Diamonds North's
qualified persons reviewing these projects. They are responsible for
the design and conduct of the exploration programs and the verification
and quality assurance of analytical results.
Diamonds North Resources is focused on discovering Canada's next
Diamond mine. The Company is rapidly evolving and committed to building
long-term value through ongoing
Diamond discoveries.
