MELVILLE DIAMOND PROJECT EXPLORATION UPDATE
NDT Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:NDE) (OTCBB:NDTVF) and Navigator Exploration Ltd. (TSXV;NVR)
are pleased to provide an update on the first phase of exploration on their Melville Diamond Project in Nunavut. The Fury, Sarcpa and Gem properties comprise approximately 1 million acres situated on the Melville Peninsula and Baffin Island, in proximity to both the diamondiferous AV-1 kimberlite body discovered by Stornoway Diamond Corporation and extensive landholdings currently being evaluated by De Beers Canada Exploration Inc.
The field program commenced in late July, 2003. To date, a total of 245 till and stream sediment samples have been collected from the three properties. The majority of the samples are in transit to the process facility for extraction of potential kimberlite indicator minerals. Results will be reported when available, and will be used to make a preliminary evaluation of the potential for diamondiferous kimberlites on the properties.
During the summer, an airborne geophysical survey was flown over the properties and in excess of 14,700 line kilometers of high resolution aeromagnetic data were collected from seven areas of interest. Although final data has not yet been received, preliminary data indicates the presence of numerous anomalies of exploration interest. Ground checking of one prominent linear target resulted in the discovery of a large sulphide bearing iron formation. Samples of this material have been submitted for assay.
Six small (100 to 400m diameter) occurrences of serpentinized ultramafic rock mapped by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1976/77, were investigated and were determined by the field geologists to represent pyroxenite or amphibolite. Samples have been collected for laboratory analysis.
Plans for further exploration of the properties will be developed once all results of the 2003 program have been received, compiled and interpreted. NDT and Navigator can earn a 60% collective interest (30% interest each) in the three properties from Stornoway Diamond Corporation and Hunter Exploration Group by funding acquisition costs, issuing shares and incurring $1 million in exploration costs.
On Behalf of the Board,
NDT VENTURES LTD.
