Ariquemes Kimblerlite Clusters

Strong Positive Indications of Potential

  • On the Amazon Craton; Diamond grades up to 47 cpht

  • At Ariquemes, 8 Kimberlites identified by De Beers and BHP-Billiton

    • ~50% mineralized typically at grades >40 cpht

  • 64 stream sediment samples indicated several anomalies, at least 5 of which not related to known kimberlites; High-chrome G10 garnets within the diamond window; evidence for at least two separate emplacement events

  • Adjacent to Pimenta Bueno Kimberlite Field

  • Airborne Magnetic Survey by BHP Billiton in 2006; covered approximately one third of the property

  • 26.4 line-km of ground magnetics over the located kimberlites confirmed the presence of magnetic and non-magnetic pipes.

  • 27,500 line-km of airborne magnetics identified numerous anomalies that were ground-proofed and some tested by auger drilling
