Photos of kimberlite extracted from RC (reverse circulation)  holes 1 &  2  This page dated March 16, 2005
"Shareholders, friends and interested parties,
Enclosed is yesterday's (March 14th) photo of drill chips from 62 to 64 meters of depth in RC hole #2 from the DO-27 kimberlite mini-bulk sampling program. Currently hole #2 is at 110 meters of depth. Notice the strong concentration of diamond indicator minerals (dark red and green colors) in the kimberlite drill chips, which was the same for the entire kimberlitic interval of hole #1. This is very encouraging.
More information will be forthcoming on a regular basis.
Best Regards, Eric Friedland" (Peregrine Diamonds Ltd - Operator)
Indicator minerals are found when diamonds are present in the kimberlite, although the quality or number of diamonds cannot be determined without sample processing. Low diamond counts would be more likely if there was a lack of indicators. The kimberlite from this bulk sample will be processed for diamond content at the sample plant at the Ekati Diamond Mine.
