RJK Explorations Ltd.: RJK Explorations Outlines Diamond Sampling Program on Its Bishop Property Kimberlites
RJK Explorations Ltd.
(TSXV: RJX.A) (OTC: RJKAF) ('RJK' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce the Company has contracted a reverse circulation (RC) drill for its Bishop kimberlite properties, scheduled to begin January 4, 2021, pending any restrictions due to COVID-19. RC Drilling can be used for both initial exploration of potential kimberlite targets and diamond sampling, thus reducing RJK's overall discovery costs moving forward.
Previous small-diameter drilling was meant to discover kimberlites and determine potential for diamonds, however, overall recovery of the kimberlite material was poor due to the soft nature of the Bishop kimberlites. RJK's RC drill program is likely to recover 100% of the unconsolidated kimberlite material, in a faster, more cost-effective manner, while also being easier to maneuver around the property in the winter. RJK will mobilize the RC drill for the purpose of diamond sampling and recovery, testing the Paradis, Robin's Place, Gleeson and HSM kimberlites bodies. The Company will begin with a 3-inch diameter tri cone bit, drilling 2-3 holes near each existing diamond drill hole locations with spacing of 200 m along fences transecting each of the 4 kimberlites. This sampling methodology will achieve better representative samples while obtaining larger amounts of material for processing. The Company intends to engage labs specializing in the best diamond recovery processes. Additionally, RJK's program intends to mobilize the RC drill to target areas that were previously too difficult to access with the small drill. For areas requiring inclined holes, the RC drill can be converted into diamond drill coring, if necessary.
