TORONTO, July 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Talmora Diamond Inc. ("Talmora" or the "Company") (CSE:TAI), is pleased to provide an exploration update. Results of recent further sample analyses from the Seahorse Project, a 50/50 joint venture between the Company and Olivut Resources Ltd., have become available.
Saskatchewan Research Council ("SRC") has reported the recovery of one macrodiamond from caustic fusion analysis of a beach sand heavy mineral concentrate sample weighing 1.8 kg taken proximal to the main Seahorse target. The macrodiamond has dimensions of approximately 1.9mm x 1.4mm and weighs 5.2628 mg. The diamond is described as off-white, transparent, distorted, octahedral, and having minor resorption with inclusions and surface pitting.
In addition, Dr. Malcolm McCallum and associate in laboratory facilities located in Loveland, Colorado, have identified the crystal previously reported as looking like a diamond as a microdiamond (<0.5mm) from the same 1.8 kg sample. Dr. McCallum's initial evaluation of this beach sand indicates that heavy minerals such as opaque oxides (rutile, pseudorutile, ilmenite, titanium magnetite, chromite), garnet of various compositions, Rare Earth Element ("REE") minerals (allanite, monazite), zircon, barite and hypersthene are concentrated in the less than 1mm fraction. In addition to elevated REE values, this beach sand also contains significantly elevated titanium oxide ("TiO2"), zirconium and barium in heavy mineral concentrates.
Also, two G-9 pyrope garnets and a picroilmenite were confirmed previously in this sample. The identification of a macrodiamond and a microdiamond, in addition to the previously reported geochemical results, from this relatively small sample is highly encouraging in the context of the sample's proximity to geophysical targets.
In light of these recent results, as soon as possible, a field program will be expedited to sample in the vicinity of the main Seahorse target. Logistical planning is underway. The program will include collection of a heavy mineral mini bulk sample from the beach sands to recover kimberlite indicator minerals including diamond and other heavy minerals. It is anticipated that additional caustic fusion analysis will be required.
Additionally, a staking program will be carried out during the current year to cover certain targets within the larger prospecting permit boundaries as current legislation requires.
The Company considers the Seahorse Project to have the potential to host diamondiferous kimberlite bodies of significant size and perhaps other mineral deposits, based on a combination of: the recent caustic fusion results; REE and TiO2 results; 2019 drill program results; favourable diamond stability indicator minerals found regionally and locally, including 15 macro and near macro diamonds found in regional stream samples to the west and 3 in regional till samples down-ice to the NNE; specific geophysical targets; regional and local faults that would favour kimberlite emplacement; occurrence of diamondiferous kimberlites to the north and southeast, as well as other geochemical data in the area.
Numerous targets are drill ready on the Horton Project in which the Company has 100% interest.

多伦多,2023年7月17日(Global Newswire)--Talmora Diamond Inc.(以下简称“Talmora”或“公司”)(CSE:TAI)很高兴提供最新勘探情况。该公司与Olivut Resources Ltd.各占一半股份的合资企业--海马项目--最近的进一步样本分析结果已经公布。
萨斯喀彻温省研究理事会(“SRC”)报告称,在靠近主要海马目标的海滩砂重矿物浓缩物样本的腐蚀性熔融分析中发现了一颗巨型钻石,重达1.8公斤。这颗巨型钻石的尺寸约为1.9毫米x 1.4毫米,重5.2628毫克。该钻石呈灰白色、透明、扭曲、八面体,并有少量吸收,夹杂物和表面点蚀。
此外,马尔科姆·麦卡勒姆博士及其同事在科罗拉多州洛夫兰的实验室设施中从相同的1.8公斤样品中鉴定出先前报告的看起来像钻石的晶体是一颗<0.5毫米的微钻。McCallum博士对这片海滩沙的初步评估表明,不透明氧化物(金红石、假金红石、钛铁矿、钛磁铁矿、铬铁矿)、各种成分的石榴石、稀土元素(“REE”)矿物(尿晶石、独居石)、锆石、重晶石和紫苏辉石等重矿物集中在小于1 mm的粒级中。除REE值升高外,该海滩沙中重矿物精矿中的二氧化钛(“二氧化钛”)、锆和钡也显著升高。
此外,在该样品中还证实了两个G-9镁铝榴石和一个镁钛铁矿。在样品接近地球物理目标的情况下,除了先前报告的地球化学结果外,从这个相对较小的样品中识别出一颗大钻石和一颗微钻石是非常令人鼓舞的。
鉴于最近的这些结果,将尽快加快实地方案,在主要海马岛目标附近进行采样。后勤规划正在进行中。该计划将包括从海滩沙子收集重矿物迷你散装样本,以回收金伯利岩指示矿物,包括钻石和其他重矿物。预计还需要进行额外的焦散聚变分析。
此外,将在本年度实施一项标杆计划,以涵盖当前法律要求的更大勘探许可范围内的某些目标。
公司认为,根据下列综合情况,海马项目有潜力容矿:最近的苛性熔融结果;稀土元素和二氧化钛结果;2019年钻探计划结果;区域和本地发现的有利的钻石稳定性指示矿物,包括在西侧区域河流样品中发现的15颗宏观和近宏观钻石,以及在区域冰层中发现的3颗钻石;特定的地球物理目标;有利于金伯利岩侵位的区域和当地断层;北部和东南部的含径金伯利岩的产状,以及该地区的其他地球化学数据。
在公司拥有100%权益的霍顿项目上,许多目标已经准备就绪。
