New Targets Identified At Kahuna

[{"type":"text","content":"New Targets Identified At Kahuna(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nJuly 25, 2016 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, BC, Canada. - Dunnedin Ventures Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Dunnedin\") (TSX-V: DVI) is pleased to report the identification of new diamond-bearing kimberlite targets through till sampling at the Kahuna project. Till sampling results include identification of potential for:\n\n \n \n\n\n-Extensions to known diamond-bearing kimberlite dikes\n\n\n\n-New diamond-bearing kimberlite dike targets\n\n\n\n-New diamond-bearing kimberlite pipe targets\n\n\n\n-Diamond-bearing kimberlite sources in areas that historically produced nil results\n\n\n\n \n \nDunnedin's CEO Chris Taylor said, \"Using methods pioneered by our advisor Dr. Chuck Fipke and previously applied at Ekati, we have identified a number of new areas that are sourcing high quality diamond indicator minerals. With the success of the 2015 test program, Dunnedin plans to expand its sampling over larger areas of the property to build, for the first time, an accurate picture of how many potential diamondiferous kimberlite sources are in fact present at Kahuna.\"\n\n \n \n2015 Till Sampling Program\n\n \n \nIn collaboration with its technical advisor Dr. Charles Fipke and director Mr. Chad Ulansky, the Company completed a glacial till orientation test sampling program in summer 2015, comprising 118 samples. Glacial till sampling recovers kimberlite indicator minerals ('KIMs') that were eroded from kimberlites by glaciers and deposited \"down-ice\". This creates a train of positive till samples that can be tracked back to their original source. It is used extensively in the Canadian Arctic as a primary exploration tool leading to most major diamond discoveries, one of the most famous examples of which is Ekati.\n\n \n \nDunnedin's test program utilized the same sampling and mineral ranking techniques as applied at Ekati, which can predict the potential of kimberlites to host diamonds with a high degree of confidence. The ranking employs proprietary mineral chemistry filters developed at CF Mineral Research Ltd. (\"CFM\") under the direction of Dr. Fipke. Information on the sampling and ranking protocols are provided on Dunnedin's web site at www.dunnedinventures.com.\n\n \n \n2015 Till Results\n\n \n \nHistorically, eighteen kimberlite pipes were drill-confirmed at the Kahuna project...
