Sampling by
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.
