Pangolin Recovers Diamonds From the Kimberlitic Magi Area, Tsabong North Project, Botswana - Seite 3
During the past nine months a series of airborne geophysical targets were drill tested. To date the most significant discovery is the Magi area where an apparently extensive kimberlitic tuff was intersected in six drill holes.
The presence of diamonds in the Magi is consistent with the high pressure mantle derived garnets previously reported from this discovery and, together with the known diamondiferous Tsabong kimberlites to the south, confirms the general prospectivity for diamondiferous kimberlites in the area.
About the Mmadinare Diamond Project
The Mmadinare Project, located in northeast Botswana, is 1,345.6 square kilometres in size. It contains similar geological environmental indicators to known mines such as Venetia, the Oaks, Martins Drift and River Ranch.
As reported in the September 18, 2013, news release, Pangolin previously discovered Manganese-rich (manganoan) ilmenites within a volcanic intrusion (the "SWS-21") in the Project Area. Manganese-rich diamond-inclusion type ilmenites are known to be associated with diamondiferous kimberlites and diamonds.
The enzyme-leach trace element chemistry from the SWS-21, identified by independent lab analysis, is identical to diamondiferous kimberlites in the Jwaneng area, Botswana. Also as reported, multiple diamond-inclusion type manganoan ilmenites were recovered from soil samples collected in a different part of the Project Area.
About the Malatswae Diamond Project

The Malatswae Diamond Project covers approximately 1,200 km2 and is located 70 km southeast of the Orapa Mine. The Project targets kimberlite. The chemical
compositions of the garnets from the Malatswae Project are distinctly different from the garnets from the Orapa kimberlite field, indicating an undiscovered kimberlite
source.
