Twin Gold extends discovery

Sampling by Twin Gold Mining (TWG-T) has turned up more evidence of kimberlite dykes along a magnetic anomaly trend on the Torngat diamond project on the eastern side of Ungava Bay in northern Quebec.

The discoveries were made while selecting sites for the extraction of multiple 10-tonne samples from the Torngat 1 and 2/3 dykes where more than 161 diamonds, including 22 macrodiamonds (equal to or greater than 0.5 mm in one dimension), have been extracted from 277 kg of kimberlite. A visible diamond was found in a sample taken from the new Kakivuq zone.

Kimberlite was found for the first time in an area 5 km northeast of Torngat 1 and 2/3, in two narrow dykes along the anomaly representing the main dyke system. Investigative pitting south of Alluviaq Fjord, along a strongly anomalous portion of the system, exposed coarse-grained kimberlite in a 3-metre excavation across the dyke.
