Twin cuts pipe at Jackson Inlet

Drilling on the Jackson Inlet property at Baffin Island in Nunavut has uncovered a kimberlite known as Cargo 1.

Twin Mining (TWG-T) recovered 83.2 metres of kimberlite from the first hole drilled into magnetic anomaly no. 3. Angled at minus 70, the hole intersected kimberlite from 43 to 126.2 metres down-hole before stopping in limestone at 152 metres. Cargo 1 has a geophysical signature measuring 140 metres in diameter.

Once logged, the core will be sampled and shipped to Lakefield Research for microdiamond analysis.

The drill rig has now moved on to test the Freightrain prospect, 4.2 km southwest of Cargo 1.
