Twin pulls kimberlite at Cargo pipe

A drill hole at Twin Mining’s (TWG-T) Jackson Inlet diamond prospect on Baffin Island has cut a 148-metre section of kimberlite, confirming earlier drill results on the Cargo 1 pipe.

Drill hole CG1-02, inclined at 60 and aimed to drill across the southwest margin of a magnetic anomaly identified in earlier work, intersected kimberlite from 30.4 to 178.3 metres down-hole. The result confirmed an earlier drill hole that cut an 83-metre length of kimberlite on the northwest margin of the anomaly.

The kimberlite is an autolithic breccia, containing peridotite xenoliths. It intrudes a limestone sequence near the northern tip of Baffin Island in Nunavut Territory, not far from the Nanisivik zinc mine.
