[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 31, 2016) - North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAR) is pleased to announce initial microdiamond results from the 2016 drilling program at the Pikoo Diamond Project in central eastern Saskatchewan, approximately 10 km north of the road accessible community of Deschambault Lake. These results continue to confirm that all Pikoo kimberlites tested to date are diamondiferous, including new kimberlite PK346. As reported in North Arrow news release dated April 4, 2016, a total of 2,124m of drilling was completed during the 2016 program with kimberlite encountered in 14 of 19 drill holes. The most significant discoveries were made in the North Pikoo area where kimberlite was encountered in seven of nine holes. The table below summarizes results from the PK150 kimberlite as well as three bodies in the North Pikoo area: PK346, PK314WestExt, and PK314EastExt: Number of Diamonds per Sieve Size (mm Square Mesh Sieve) Kimberlite Sample 0.106 0.15 0.212 0.3 0.425 0.6 0.85 Total Total Weight -0.15 -0.212 -0.3 -0.425 -0.6 -0.85 -1.18 Stones Carats Dry Kg +0.85mm PK150 50.95 29 18 16 8 3 1 1 76 0.021 PK314 WestExt 78.6 8 1 1 0 0 0 0 10 N/A PK346 157.3 17 4 1 0 0 0 0 22 N/A PK314 EastExt 39.9 2 3 0 0 0 0 0 5 N/A A 157.3 kg sample from drill hole 16PK-41 testing PK346 returned 22 diamonds greater than the 0.106 mm sieve class. PK346 is interpreted as a near vertical northeast trending body located approximately 25m north of kimberlite PK314, discovered in 2015, and south of a series of kimberlite dykes discovered in 2013. A separate 78.6 kg sample also from drill hole 16PK-41 returned 10 diamonds greater than the 0.106 mm sieve class. This kimberlite interval is tentatively interpreted as the w...
