Pangolin: Kimberlite Indicator Minerals Confirmed at Malatswae Project, Botswana

Pangolin Diamonds has announced that latest tests have confirmed that an additional 78 soil samples from the MTS grid at its wholly-owned Malatswae Diamond Project contain kimberlite indicator minerals. The project is located 105 km southeast of the Luaraa’s Karowe Diamond Mine.

A release from the Company says that the results are from the MTS grid where pyrope garnets with near-source features were reported last November.

In the latest round, pyrope garnet has been visually-confirmed in 62 of the 78 grid samples and ranges from 0.4-1.0mm in maximum dimension. Pyrope garnets with near-source surface features are present in 55 of the 62 samples, with twelve of those samples having four or more garnets with near-source features.

The indicators have been delivered to C.F. Mineral Research (Kelowna, B.C.) for microprobe analysis with results expected in the coming weeks.

Drilling at MSC Grid where 7 diamonds have been discovered is scheduled to start in the next two weeks
