SASKATOON, SK, Nov. 9 /CNW/ - George H. Read, P. Geo., Senior Vice President Exploration, is pleased to announce that mining of the kimberlite bulk sample on the Star Diamond Project has been completed. Reconciliation of all mined rock on surface confirms that 25,000 dry tonnes of kimberlite have been mined and hauled to surface.

Kimberlite processing through the on-site DMS plant proceeds on schedule and to date some 20,000 dry tonnes have been processed and the concentrates dispatched to SGS Lakefield Research for final diamond recovery. The rate of on-site kimberlite processing through the recovery plant has been increased in the past month and currently exceeds 200 tonnes per day.
The Star Diamond bulk sample program was designed to recover a parcel of at least 3,000 carats of diamonds to enable an accurate valuation of the stones.
