Description:
Property 119 is located equidistant between the Chapadão and 21 de Abril kimberlite clusters and is home to the Aripuanã-3 kimberlites. Rio Tinto previously drilled three pipes in the cluster taking small samples and proved them to be diamondiferous. In August 2007, the Company received a license of operation to bulk sample the kimberlite pipes and alluvial deposits which have been partially delineated using auger drilling. The intent is to take additional bulk tests of the three known diamondiferous kimberlite pipes and to follow up on several other targets which have been identified through stream and soil sampling. Local artisanal miners have reported diamond production from the Cinta Larga River which runs through the property.
