[{"type":"text","content":"Notch Kimberlite Processing is Forty Percent Complete - Favourable Commercial-Sized Diamonds Recovered(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nMarch 21, 2016 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, BC, Canada. - Dunnedin Ventures Inc. (the \"Company\" or \"Dunnedin\") (TSX-V: DVI) reports approximately 40 percent of the 2.4 tonne Notch kimberlite sample collected during the 2015 field program has now been processed. To date, 278 diamonds (+0.425 mm) including 36 commercial-sized stones (+0.85 mm) have been recovered.

We will then compare indicator mineral chemistry from tills with both PST and Notch to guide our upcoming work. The remaining 1.4 tonnes of Notch kimberlite, plus additional kimberlite from PST and other targets will be processed after completion of the till samples.\"\n\n\n \nOver 22 tonnes of kimberlite from Notch were historically processed for diamond recovery. Commercial-sized diamond counts (+0.85 mm) are higher in the current sample than expected from historical reports, however the current sample size is insufficient to characterize the body as a whole, and preliminary results from Notch do not constitute either a deposit grade or a completed sample grade.\n\n\n \nThe Notch sample was treated through an autogenous mill-fusion circuit located at CF Mine...
