Olivut Resources Ltd. Provides Exploration Update
Drilling is being focused on priority magnetic anomalies identified by ongoing analyses of detailed airborne magnetic surveys of prospective target areas. A light weight drill is being utilized to complete approximately 12 holes on previously untested targets. Management believes there is a strong likelihood that many of these priority targets have a high probability of being kimberlites. Drilling is anticipated to continue through summer.
The Company has been very successful in identifying kimberlite occurrences within the extensive HOAM project area. To date, 28 kimberlite discoveries have been made in this relatively unexplored region of the NWT. Although some of these occurrences are microdiamond bearing, the sources of the extremely positive kimberlite indicator mineral populations (including G10 garnets) previously recovered from stream sediment and till samples remain to be found. Based on the indicator mineral chemistry, geophysics and drill results to date, management believes that there is a high probability that economic kimberlite pipes remain to be discovered in the project area.
Olivut is a diamond exploration company with a 100% mineral interest in over 142,000 acres in the HOAM Project in Canada's Northwest Territories. Please visit www.olivut.com for detailed corporate and project information.
