Vancouver — Positive results from heavy mineral sampling and ground geophysics have prompted partners Ashton Mining of Canada (ACA-T) and Soquem (which is owned by the Quebec government) to approve a fall drill program over the Otish Mountains diamond claims in northern Quebec.The project was originally staked in August 2000.
Ashton added a further 830 sq. km of ground early this year and completed ground geophysics over eight targets.
Several of these targets are near highly anomalous mineral indicator sample sites.
Certain samples contain favourable high-chromium, low-calcium G10 pyrope garnets and picro-ilmenites.
More than 350 heavy mineral samples were collected during the recent program and the eight geophysical targets were up-graded to drill-ready status.
