Management is also pleased to announce the intersection of over 500 feet of kimberlitic rock on their mineral claims in conjunction with this Option nearby the settlement of Smeaton, Saskatchewan. Operating partner CMKM, in collaboration with their geologist, Ralph Newson, have chosen a drilling location close to an area where smaller thicknesses of kimberlite have been identified by prior claim holders.
