These results are from the first of ten bulk sample trenches that were excavated by Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (\"RTEC\") in 2019 (see News Releases dated June 3, and October 8, 2019). The breakdown of the kimberlite intercepted, and diamonds recovered from trench 19FALCT001, are detailed in Table 1 below. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \nThe average diamond grade from this first trench is similar to historical diamond grade results detected from the underground bulk sampling and large diameter drilling (\"LDD\") completed on the Star Kimberlite between 2004 and 2009. These results are also similar to the overall weighted average grade (14 cpht) reported in Star Diamond's Preliminary Economic Assessment (\"PEA\") of the Star and Orion South kimberlites (the \"Project\") (see News ...
