DIAMOND PAGE — DIAMOND NEWS ROUNDUP — TNK plans Gope exploration

TNK Resources (TNKR-C) reports that a program of geophysics is about to begin at its Gope diamond project in Botswana.

Surveys will be conducted over 37 targets previously identified by high-altitude airborne surveying. Each of the roughly 1.5-sq.-km targets will be surveyed from about 25 metres above ground, using 75-metre line spacing. Also, in the area where TNK discovered four kimberlite pipes in 1997, geophysical crews will conduct a 2,940-line-km grid survey using 100-metre line spacing. De Beers Consolidated Mines (DBRS-Q) can earn varying interests in the property, which covers about 400,000 ha of the Kaapvaal craton, one of the world’s most prolific diamond-producing regions.
