RAPAPORT... Dominion Diamond Corporation filed its technical report, as required under National Instrument 43-101, for the Ekati diamond mine, which includes an updated mineral reserves and mineral resources statement. In the report, Dominion Diamond promoted 84.6 million carats from the Jay pipe and 1 million carats from the Lynx pipe to "probable mineral reserves." The entire Ekati project, which includes Koala, Misery, Pigeon, Jay, Lynx and a core zone, buffer zone and stockpiles, was given a total "probable mineral reserves" estimate of 105.8 million carats. Indicated mineral resources totaled 143 million carats and inferred resources totaled 20 million carats. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have not demonstrated economic viability.
