The program will focus ondelineating areas of concentrated mineralization for drilling usinginduced polarization (IP) surveying and prospecting.

Successfullyidentifying drill targets on this property would be a significantadvancement" says Mark Kolebaba President and CEO of Diamonds North. Initial grab samples from the property returned values up to 19.8 %copper, 123.0 grams per tonne silver, 0.20% uranium and 0.17% bismuth.
