Kennady North Geology and Resource Development

Project Description

The Kennady North project is an advanced diamond exploration project 100%-owned and operated by Mountain Province through its subsidiary Kennady Diamonds Inc.  It surrounds the Gahcho Kué Diamond Mine that is operated by De Beers Canada in joint venture with Mountain Province Diamonds. The project includes several significantly diamondiferous kimberlite pipes and dykes. The pipes display unique morphology that has not previously been documented in kimberlites. SRK has worked with Aurora Geosciences and Kennady Diamonds on the geological development and evaluation of these kimberlites since 2013. Due to the unique shapes of the kimberlites, new exploration and evaluation approaches were implemented to delineate the bodies and understand their internal geology and grade distribution. Resources have been classified for three of the kimberlites - Kelvin, Faraday 1−3, and Faraday 2.
