North Arrow Minerals Inc. is pleased to announce completion of the June 2014 till sampling program at the Pikoo Diamond Project in central eastern Saskatchewan. A total of 441 till samples were collected during the four week program, which was intended to follow up on the 2013 discovery of diamond bearing kimberlite within the 33,000 ha property (please see North Arrow news release dated November 5, 2013 for complete details).
All 2014 till samples are at the processing laboratory. Sample processing is under way and scheduled to continue through July and August. Results from the program will be used to evaluate selected potential kimberlite targets and provide more detailed regional coverage of the eastern portion of the property where numerous positive till samples are located but sample density has been insufficient to define individual kimberlite indicator mineral trains. Follow up exploration, including drilling, is tentatively planned for the fall 2014 and winter/spring 2015.
The 2014 Pikoo exploration program is being conducted with Stornoway Diamond Corporation (TSX:SWY) under an 80% (North Arrow) / 20% (Stornoway) participating joint venture arrangement. North Arrow's diamond exploration programs are conducted under the direction of Kenneth Armstrong, P.Geo., President and CEO of North Arrow and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101. Mr. Armstrong has reviewed the contents of this press release.
