Vancouver-based junior Geodex Minerals (GXM-V) has recovered 2 microdiamonds from just 34 kg of sample from four kimberlite dykes on the Fletch and Machineimegos properties near Wawa, Ontario.

The micros came from samples weighing 7.8 kg and 5.3 kg that were collected from the Fletch North and No. 2 dykes, respectively. The 3.2-metre-wide Fletch North dyke contains abundant mantle xenoliths; the 2-metre-wide No. 2 dyke about 3 km to the east does not.

Samples from two of the dykes each contained one microdiamond. The “Fletch North” dyke is 3.2mwide and contains abundant mantle xenoliths. The “No. 2” dyke, located about 3 kilometres east of the

Geodex is encouraged by the positive results form the limited sampling and plans further exploration aimed at tracing the extent of the diamondiferous dykes and turning up new kimberlite bodies on the properties.

The contiguous properties comprise 217claim units for a total of 35.6 sq. km. So far 7 kimberlite dykes, some with ultramafic xenoliths, have been identified.
