About the Kahuna Project
Kahuna is an advanced stage high grade diamond project located near Rankin Inlet, Nunavut. Three main diamondiferous kimberlite dikes have been drilled and bulk sampled and returned grades of 0.85 to 2.18 carats per tonne, the Kahuna, PST and Notch. Mineral resource estimates have not yet been published for these targets, however the kimberlites yielded high macrodiamond counts and diamonds over one carat in size. The largest diamond recovered was a 5.43 carat stone from the Kahuna dike that had been broken during the sample preparation process and was reconstructed as having an original size of 13.42 carats. The dikes have comparable strike lengths, widths and grades to producing diamond mines and occur within a broad network of largely untested geophysical targets, overlain by dense diamond indicator mineral trains.
