Exploration Underway on 330 Kimberlite Targets on Ualliq Diamond
Property
====================================...
VANCOUVER, May 29th, 2008 - Diamonds North Resources (DDN: TSX.V) and
International Samuel Exploration Corp. (TSX-V: SAZ), announce that the
2008 Ualliq exploration program is underway. A total of 330 airborne
geophysical targets have been identified, of which approximately 80 are
rated as high to moderate priority. Significantly, 47 of the targets
range in size from 2 to 7 hectares.
The Companies have approved a two phase program designed to screen
targets ahead of an intensive drilling program. A camp has been
established and field work is underway. The Ualliq property is located
near Diamond North's Amaruk discovery in the Pelly Bay Diamond District
of Nunavut where 22 kimberlites have been discovered, including the
highly diamondiferous Tuktu kimberlite (see Diamonds North News Release
dated May 27, 2008).
The two Companies have adopted an exploration approach similar to the
approach taken on the Amaruk property. This year's plan includes ground
geophysics on 60 to 100 airborne geophysical targets. Up to 20 targets
will be drill tested to confirm the presence of kimberlite. Any
kimberlite intersected will be submitted for microdiamond analysis.
"The Ualliq property is advancing much like the Amaruk property did"
says Mark Kolebaba, President and CEO of Diamonds North. "We are seeing
good mineral chemistry and a large number of targets, some with
considerable size potential. Based on current data, it is very likely
that the Amaruk kimberlite field extends on to the Ualliq property."
Conrad Swanson President of International Samuel states "The Ualliq
property benefits from the exploration knowledge gained from over $20
million of diamond exploration on the adjacent Amaruk property. I
think we have a great chance for discoveries here."
Bruce Kienlen (P.Geol) and Graham Gill (P. Geo) are Diamonds North's
qualified persons reviewing these projects. They are responsible for
the design and conduct of the exploration programs and the verification
and quality assurance of analytical results.
