Diamonds / GSL Claims

History

The property was staked in 2002 by Mr. David Smith, the prospector, who first recognized the Drybones Bay area as potential for the occurrence of a kimberlite pipe. This kimberlite occurrence on the adjacent property was confirmed in initial drilling in the early 1990's.

The property was staked by various companies (including Trade Winds Resources and Southern Era) at various times during the 1990's in conjunction with the activity on the Drybones Bay Kimberlite.

Low-level helicopter magnetic surveys, part of larger regional surveys, were flown over the area of the Drybones pipe and the total number of holes drilled on the pipe was 21 (including the discovery hole). Processing of the drill core performed by Ashton Mining recovered 54 diamonds of diameter >0.8 mm.

Two detailed surveys were flown over the area of these claims.
