RAPAPORT... Mountain Province Diamonds began core drilling the exploration targets at the Gahcho Kué diamond property, a joint venture with De Beers Canada. Following completion of a ground gravity survey in January, Mountain Province selected 10 targets for the first phase of the exploration drill program and these are targeted for completion at the end of April. Based on the success of the first phase drill program, consideration will be given to testing additional targets that have been identified. Mountain Province just completed its planned delivery of materials, equipment and fuel to the property using the winter ice road. The company also retained Mineral Services Canada Inc. to prepare an updated independent NI 43-101 resource statement for the Tuzo kimberlite, which will incorporate the results of the recently completed deep drilling program.
