Results have been returned from Diatech Laboratory in Perth for a sample taken in the Pilbara Project during July 2009 for diamond indicator mineral extraction. This project area includes several adjacent tenements which are part of a commodity swap agreement between Flinders Mines and Fortescue Metals Group. The sample returned a positive result for one microdiamond.
This new microdiamond discovery is a significant find for Flinders Mines, and gives further encouragement for diamond exploration in the Pilbara region. Follow up sampling will be
undertaken to confirm results in this and other nearby circular topographic and magnetic features.
EURELIA DIAMOND DISCOVERY
Five new microdiamond counts have been received from the Eurelia area, and all have returned positive results for microdiamonds. Four of the samples were taken along the diamondiferous Eurelia K3 trend and one along the Bel Forest K7-K4 trend. The highest microdiamond count yielded 63 microdiamonds from a 20 kilogram sample. This is the
highest microdiamond count to date and confirms that bulk sampling is justified. The diamond results to date show distinctive crystal shapes on the K3 trend and rounded shapes on the Bel Forest K7-K4 trend. This suggests a notable difference in the geological evolution of each kimberlite trend. These results continue to confirm the positive
microdiamond results reported in the December 2009 quarterly report.
