NIPISSING DIAMOND PROJECT

The map above shows RJK’s eight kimberlite discoveries, Paradis (87 hectare EM Conductance anomaly), Robin’s Place (10 hectare EM Conductance anomaly), Gleeson (53 hectare EM Conductance anomaly) and HSM (45 hectare Conductance anomaly), and the two new potentially large kimberlites, Lightning Lake, Nicol Lake, and the Gravel Pit kimberlite.

The kimberlite intersects are as shallow as 2m from surface at Paradis, 4m at Robin’s place, 1.5m at Gleeson, 4m at HSM, 1.5m at Lightning Lake, and 2m of surface at Nicol. As of January 28, 2021, Paradis averages 11m in thickness, Robin’s place averages 24m in thickness, Gleeson 14m in thickness ,HSM averages 27m, and Nicole and Lightning are unknown because they are primarily located under lakes. No source kimberlite pipes have been drilled yet. Additional drilling is needed to determine exact tonnage. RJK is taking RC drilling samples to test the kimberlites for their diamond potential.

On February 5, 2019, RJK Explorations Ltd. entered into a property option agreement with Anthony “Tony” Bishop for the Bishop Nipissing Diamond Properties, exploration properties totaling 2090.2 hectares encompassing at least 18 potential kimberlite pipes located approximately 10 km south of Cobalt, Ontario.

Tony Bishop, Prospector, spent over 4 years looking for the source of the Nipissing Diamond that was found sometime during the development of the silver mines at Cobalt, Ontario in the 1903 to 1905 time period. After closely following Bishop’s work for a year and reviewing the data, RJK decided to option the property.

The Bishop claims are situated in a well-established kimberlite field within the Lake Temiskaming Structural Zone. A deep-seated subduction zone is located below the claims, which is an ideal geological setting for type IIa diamonds, the largest diamonds in the world. All claims are on Crown Land, are mostly on high, dry, well-drained topography for year-round drilling. Drivable logging roads are within one kilometre or less, affording easy access. Close by are 3 hydroelectric facilities, a large electric wind farm and a gas pipeline. The Trans-Canada Hwy is also very close, as is the train station in Cobalt, an area with a well-established historical mining history.

Thus far, RJK has discovered two diamondiferous kimberlites, each with large tonnage potential. Many targets remain within the 17,000 hectare staked and optioned claims.
