Kennady Diamonds Inc.: Grants Incentive Stock Options
TORONTO, Jan. 15, 2016 - Kennady Diamonds Inc. ("Kennady Diamonds", the "Company") (TSX-V: KDI) today announced the granting of stock options to certain directors, officers and employees of the Company to purchase up to 190,000 common shares of its capital stock at a price of $2.81 per share and up to 100,000 at a price of $3.00 per, exercisable for a period of ten years. About Kennady Diamonds
Kennady Diamonds Inc. controls 100 percent of the Kennady North project which comprises thirteen leases and claims located immediately to the north and west of the four leases controlled by the Gahcho Kué Joint Venture between De Beers Canada (51%) and Mountain Province (49%) located in Canada's Northwest Territories.
Kennady Diamonds aims to identify a resource along the Kelvin – Faraday kimberlite corridor of between a 13 and 16 million tonnes at a grade of between 2 and 2.5 carats per tonne and also to identify new kimberlites outside of the corridor. The Kelvin – Faraday corridor is a target for further exploration. The tonnage estimate is based on the drilling completed to date. The potential quantity is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient drilling to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
