Bobwins - KRT.V Kimberlite and Diamonds

I posted Kennsington Resources one time on this board. Since then Shore Gold and Newmont mining got in the act and the stock is up 110% Bob, this is right up your alley! Predicting the quantity and future value of diamonds from core drilling.

I jumped on this Canadian stock during my kick to get out of the US dollar and try to own resources in the ground, in foreign currencies.

Take a gander, could be a nice little diversification. Could change a zipcode if it's the mother load!

2004 Microdiamond Recoveries for Kimberlite 147
=======================================================================

Vancouver, British Columbia - Sept. 23, 2005 - Kensington Resources
Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:KRT) (the "Company") announces that it has received
from the operator, De Beers Canada Inc., microdiamonds results for
eight coreholes targeted on Kimberlite Body 147 during the 2004-2005
program at the Fort a la Corne Diamond Project in Saskatchewan. The
principal objective of the 2004-2005 program on Kimberlite 147 was to
acquire representative kimberlite and diamond information for
construction of a new geological model and to assess the potential for
higher grade zones within the body.

"We are very pleased with the results from Kimberlite Body 147," states
Robert A. McCallum, President and CEO of Kensington Resources Ltd. "A
substantial number of diamonds including three larger stones were
recovered indicating a high stone density and potential enrichment in
this body. De Beers will utilize these results in a grade forecast,
which then will enable us to make decisions on the suitability of
delineation drilling and minibulk sampling for recovery of
macrodiamonds."

The 147 kimberlite occurs in the main cluster of the Fort a la Corne
Kimberlite Province and is located on the eastern side of the
148/147/120/220 volcanic megacluster with the 220 and 148 kimberlites
situated directly to the west and southwest. Eight coreholes
intersected 855.38 m of kimberlite from a total meterage of 1,740.0 m.
The top of the first kimberlite intersection ranged between 96 to
106.28 m depth from surface and the bottom of the last kimberlite unit
ranged from 181.22 and 221.82 m. Kimberlite thicknesses varied between
74.94 and 125.68 m.

A total of 2,432 microdiamonds were recovered from 515.20 kg of
kimberlite core in 63 samples utilizing caustic dissolution methods at
the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC). Microdiamond recoveries were
audited and individual stone sizes calculated by experts at the De
Beers Kimberley Microdiamond Laboratory (KMDL) in South Africa. Only
microdiamond data from the SRC are reported here. Summaries of diamond
recovery by kimberlite drillhole and by sieve category are shown in
Tables 1 and 2.

1 equals For the 2004 samples, representative sample intervals ranged
from 3.2 to 24.2 metres of kimberlite intersection; sample weights
ranged from 8.05 to 8.25 kg

2 equals Stones with at least one axis greater than 0.5 mm in length

3 equals Due to the wide variance in sample mass per historical
drillhole, the average stones/10 kg for the historical results was
weighted by the mass of individual samples (a simple average of
drillhole values was calculated at 21.4 stones/10 kg)

Microdiamond recoveries in 2004 were significantly higher than
historical recoveries which are shown at the bottom of Table 1. At
47.21 stones/10kg, the average stone density of the 2004 recoveries is
more than double that of the historical recoveries and is actually
much higher if the 128 microdiamonds measuring less than 0.075 mm are
not included in the historical tally. In comparison, fewer stones
larger than 0.5 mm were recovered per kilogram of sample during the
2004 program. Microdiamonds recovered from the 2004 program will be
combined with all suitable historical diamond results and submitted to
Mineral Resource Management (MRM) of De Beers for grade forecasts of
commercial-sized diamonds based on statistical and graphical treatment
of the data.
