DIAMONDS IN SASKATCHEWAN
The Company has acquired approximately 230,000 acres within the Fort a la Corne and White Gull districts of Saskatchewan. The Fort a la Corne district contains one of the largest known clusters of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in the world. The Monopros(Debeers) joint venture has spent in excess of $20,000,000 on exploration and have identified 57 diamondiferous kimberlite pipes. At least one of these pipes contains up to one billion tonnes of material. The White Gull district also contains a number of diamondiferous kimberlites. Airborne magnetic surveys have been the primary exploration tool utilized in this area and have been successful in locating kimberlite pipes. Shane has obtained airborne magnetic data over portions of its properties that contain a number of anomalies interpreted to be kimberlites. Ground geophysics will be utilized to prioritize drill targets and drilling will follow.
