Marketwired
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: SNO) has been notified
by DeBeers Canada Exploration Ltd. ("DeB") that the first 100
tonnes of the 500 tonne bulk sample of the Mud Lake kimberlite has
been processed through DeBeers' Dense Media Separation Plant in
Grande Prairie, Alberta. The processing yielded 1559.71kg of
concentrate which was divided into two batches. One batch, weighing
518.80kg, of concentrate has been shipped by air freight with
Brink's Canada Limited - Global Services to DeBeers' Laboratory in
Johannesburg, South Africa for diamond recovery, with scheduled
arrival next week. The second batch, comprising 1559.71kg of
kimberlite concentrate, has been sent by truck to the Saskatchewan
Research Council's Laboratory in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where it
will arrive this evening, December 13, 2007.
Snowfield had originally intended to divide the concentrate into
three batches with the third batch being sent to the Kennecott
Canada Exploration's Laboratory in Thunder Bay, Ontario. However,
the Company has been informed by Kennecott that due to scheduled
maintenance the concentrate could not be processed in time to meet
Snowfield's schedule. Results, with diamond counts, are expected to
be available from the Saskatchewan Research Council's Laboratory by
early February 2008. DeBeers expects to have their diamond counts
available by the end of March 2008.
DRILLING
Snowfield has scheduled the Christmas break for their drill
crews from December 15, 2007 with drilling resuming January 8,
2008.
The Ticho Project, hosting the diamondiferous Mud Lake
kimberlite, is located approximately 50km South East of
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The remaining 400 tonnes of the
500 tonne bulk sample of diamondiferous kimberlite is expected to
be trucked to the DeBeers Dense Media Separation Plant by mid
February 2008. As has previously been reported, DeBeers is
providing their Dense Media Separation services at no cost to, and
with no obligation from, Snowfield.
