Pangolin Recovers Additional Diamonds from Malatswae Diamond Project, Botswana

Admin 1 Comment
  • Additional diamonds are reported from two soil samples
  • A total of seven soil samples have produced diamonds in the Malatswae Project area 
  • Six of the diamonds are of good colour, one is brown. 
  • The fragile nature of some of the diamonds indicate proximity to source.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (November 17, 2015) – Pangolin Diamonds Corp. (TSX-V: PAN) (the “Company” or “Pangolin”) is pleased to announce it has received positive soil sample results for the Company’s wholly-owned Malatswae Diamond Project (“Malatswae”), located 90 km southeast of the Orapa kimberlite field in Botswana.  Continue reading →

Pangolin Recovers Fifth Diamond from Malatswae Diamond Project, Botswana

Admin
  • A soil sample collected in the upwind direction from the MSC Grid yields a positive diamond result. 
  • The diamond was recovered within 550 metres of the centre of aeromagnetic anomaly MX14. 
  • An ilmenite with kimberlite attached was recovered from a soil sample. 
  • The ilmenite has a close spatial association with aeromagnetic anomaly MX01, immediately east of the MSC Grid.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (September 29, 2015) – Pangolin Diamonds Corp. (TSX-V: PAN) (the “Company” or “Pangolin”) is pleased to announce it has received positive soil sample results for the Company’s wholly-owned Malatswae Diamond Project (“Malatswae”), located 90 km southeast of the Orapa kimberlite field in Botswana.  Continue reading →

Pangolin Receives Positive Kimberlite Indicator Analyses for Malatswae Diamond Project, Botswana

Admin
  • Laboratory reports an abundance of positive kimberlitic ilmenites from soil samples
  • Kimberlitic ilmenites from the Malatswae Diamond Project are distinctly different to ilmenites from the Orapa AK1 Diamond Mine confirming separate source area
  • Clinopyroxenes of both eclogitic and peridotitic paragenesis from the earth’s mantle present in samples
  • Primary surface textures on numerous indicator minerals and clinopyroxenes indicative of proximal source.
  • Close geographical association between anomalously positive samples and previous selected high priority aeromagnetic targets currently being followed up with detailed ground surveys and additional soil sampling.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (July 14, 2015) – Pangolin Diamonds Corp. (TSX-V: PAN) (the “Company” or “Pangolin”) is pleased to announce it has received positive kimberlite indicator mineral analyses for the Company’s wholly-owned Malatswae Diamond Project (“Malatswae”), located 90 km southeast of the world class Orapa Diamond Mine in Botswana.  Continue reading →

Large aeromagnetic anomalies discovered at another Pangolin Diamonds project area in Botswana, close to Jwaneng Diamond mine

Admin

Pangolin’s Jwaneng South Project has additional kimberlite indicators that include:

  • Garnets discovered in soil samples;
  • Trace element analysis identical to diamondiferous kimberlites from the Jwaneng area;
  • Several large aeromagnetic anomalies commonly associated with kimberlites; and
  • An isolated ground gravity low similar to that observed over the Jwaneng Diamond mine kimberlites. Continue reading →
