[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - July 25, 2016) - North Arrow Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAR) is pleased to announce additional microdiamond results from the 2016 drilling program at the Pikoo Diamond Project. The Company has also concluded a summer till sampling program at the project, which is located in central eastern Saskatchewan, approximately 10 km north of the road accessible community of Deschambault Lake. The microdiamond results 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 including the discovery of kimberlites PK346 and PK347. Initial microdiamond results reported on May 31, 2016, confirmed that PK346 is diamondiferous, as were samples from the PK150 kimberlite and the interpreted eastern and western extensions of the PK314 kimberlite. New caustic fusion results have been received for additional samples from PK346, PK150 and the interpreted western extension of PK314 and are summarized in the following table: 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 96.89 87 52 32 16 13 3 1 204 0.014 PK314 WestExt 18.74 2 1 1 0 0 0 0 4 N/A PK346 117.66 7 0 0 0 1 0 0 8 N/A Detailed petrographic work is underway to aid in the interpretation of the Pikoo kimberlites in conjunction with diamond results, mineral abundances and core logging information.
