CH-24 Kimberlite
*Information in this current blog is based on information obtained up to mid 2018 and should be considered legacy at this time and should no longer be relied upon.*
This was found during surface prospecting in the summer of 2010 program.
Excerpts: (July 19th, 2010)
"The discovery of eight new kimberlites at Chidliak, CH-19 through
CH-26, brings the number of kimberlites discovered on the project to
date to 26.
The CH-23 through CH-26 kimberlites, discovered in the last few days,
are situated near each other on the eastern side of the Project
approximately 30 kilometres northeast of the CH-6 kimberlite.
The 20,500 line kilometre helicopter-borne magnetic/electromagnetic
geophysical survey was flown at a 100 metre line spacing by Fugro
Airborne Surveys Inc. as an extension to the 11,700 line kilometre
survey completed in 2008. Interpretation of the new survey data is
ongoing and to date, a total of 442 kimberlite-type anomalies has been selected for follow-up from the cumulative 32,200
line kilometres of airborne geophysical data available for Chidliak.
Of the ten new kimberlites discovered by Peregrine to date in 2010 at
Chidliak, six were targets selected from the 2010 survey extension,
CH-18, CH-19 and CH-23 through CH-26.
Fifteen of the 26 kimberlites discovered to date at Chidliak have been
discovered as a result of prospecting. Prior to considering an anomaly
for drilling, a two to three person team will visit a high priority
anomaly, thoroughly investigate the area and reach one of the following
three conclusions: anomaly explained by kimberlite, anomaly explained
by non-kimberlite source, or anomaly unexplained. To date in 2010, 55
anomalies have been prospected. Significant amounts of kimberlite
have been discovered at six of these anomalies which are now classified
as kimberlites, CH-19, CH-21 and CH-23 through CH-26."
Deferred testing - Testing of this kimberlite was deferred as it was deemed to be of low interest.
Not too much detail, it is probably smaller in size. More work will be done on this kimberlite in the future.
