Crystal Exploration Sample Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 22, 2017) - CRYSTAL EXPLORATION INC. (the "Company" or "Crystal") (TSX VENTURE:CEI) is pleased to report a series of results from Crystal's 100% owned Muskox and Hood Project areas.
All the existing archived drill core has now been logged and sampled in a series of 7 composite samples from the Muskox Kimberlite. The results are summarized below in Table 1. The samples were processed using the Saskatchewan Research Councils ("SRC's") Dense Media Separation ("DMS") plant to recover commercial sized (approximately +0.85 mm), macro-diamonds.
The combined grade from the DMS processing for the magmatic kimberlite samples is 0.45 carats per tonne ("cpt") and the combined grade from the DMS processing for the pyroclastic kimberlite samples is 0.19 cpt. The largest diamonds recovered include 0.49 carats, 0.40 carats and 0.30 carats (see diamond pictures below). The diamonds are described as off-white, transparent to translucent with minor inclusions.
