Mountain Province adds significant new claims to Kennady North
Canadian diamond miner Mountain Province has added three strategic claims to the Kennady North project, which surrounds the Gahcho Kué mine.
Following staking in early 2020 that increased the Kennady North project area by 35%, three additional claims have now been staked and filed with the government recorder for the Northwest Territories.
Mountain Province said that these claims were important to the company as they were to the east of significant clusters of kimberlite indicator minerals, as well as the previously identified MZ Kimberlite, both of which required further review.
The three claims connect the Kennady North land package into one contiguous area, which now includes 30 federal leases and 94 claims that total 107 373 ha and completely surrounds the Gahcho Kué mine.
With the claims part of the portfolio, CEO Mark Wall said that the company would ramp up its exploration activities, with the intention of mining new mines in the area.
"The acquisition of these three claims is significant. Their omission from the Kennady North project created logistical and exploration challenges in assessing indicator mineral and geophysical data both up- and down-ice of the claims,” said Wall.
The winter 2022 exploration programme will include up to 2 000 m of exploration drilling on the North and South Anomalies and additional ARRT surveys over the Bob Camp area and other areas of interest. The winter programme is planned to start in the first quarter of 2022.
The three new claims became available for staking in October and were acquired last week in a helicopter-supported exercise that was based out of Yellowknife.
