SRK has provided geology development, evaluation and resource estimation for the Kennady North project, owned by Kennady Diamonds, a subsidiary of Mountain Province Diamonds. It is located north of the Gahcho Kue diamond mine that is operated by De Beers Canada in a joint venture with Mountain Province Diamonds.
The Kennady North project includes several significantly diamondiferous pipes and dykes. The known pipes display unique external morphology that has not previously been documented.
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 displayed by the kimberlites, new exploration and evaluation approaches were implemented to develop the geology and understand the grade distribution.
Resources have been classified for the Kelvin, Faraday 1−3, and Faraday 2 kimberlites. Further exploration and evaluation work is warranted.
