Pangolin Recovers Pyrope Garnets with Near-Source Features Over a Geophysical Anomaly at Malatswae Diamond Project, Botswana
- Four soil samples produced 14 pyrope garnets with near-source surface features
- The features include trichitic etch pits and channels that result from chemical weathering of pyrope garnet
- The grains are identical to pyrope garnets from weathered kimberlite elsewhere in Botswana and show little to no evidence of transport
- The samples are positioned directly over a high priority magnetic anomaly under investigation
TORONTO, ONTARIO (November 3, 2015) – Pangolin Diamonds Corp. (TSX-V: PAN) (the “Company” or “Pangolin”) is pleased to announce it has recovered pyrope garnet with near-source surface features from the Company’s wholly-owned Malatswae Diamond Project (“Malatswae”), located 90 km southeast of the Orapa kimberlite field in Botswana. Four samples produced over 14 pyrope garnets, with five grains in two samples. The samples are spaced from 200-400 meters apart and positioned directly over a magnetic anomaly of similar dimensions.

Mining Weekly: A diamond in the rough, Pangolin tracks diamond-bearing kimberlites
Pangolin was featured in Mining Weekly. Click here to read the full article.
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – After recently announcing that it had discovered one of the largest-ever kimberlite pipes at its Tsabong North project, in Botswana, TSX-V-listed exploration junior Pangolin Diamonds is on the lookout for a partner to develop the project that is shaping up to be far larger than ever thought.
Pangolin last week announced that it had discovered a 270 ha kimberlite pipe, making it comparable with the Se251 kimberlite in Angola that measures 220 ha, the MK1 kimberlite in Botswana that measures 180 ha, and the Mwadui kimberlite in Tanzania, which measures 146 ha.
“The first thought that ran through my mind when I heard that we had indeed found a 270-ha-large kimberlite, instead of two separate pipes was: ‘We need a big partner’,” Pangolin chairperson Dr Leon Daniels told Mining Weekly Online in an interview on Friday.
Mining Weekly: Pangolin unearths garnets pointing to new Botswana kimberlites

TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Canadian explorer Pangolin Diamonds on Tuesday said it had unearthed high-pressure garnets that could indicate the presence of more than one diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe on its Tsabong North project, in Botswana.
The TSX-V-listed company said independent lab analysis returned a significant number of high-pressure garnets associated with the diamond stability field, which is the area of the earth’s mantle with the heat and pressure required to produce diamonds, which for the company confirmed a high exploration potential for new diamondiferous kimberlite pipes in the area.
