[{"type":"text","content":"\nTsodilo Resources Limited Announces Positive Micro-Diamond Results\n\n Mar. 18, 2011 (Filing Services Canada) -- Tsodilo Resources Limited (TSD - TSX Venture), (\"Tsodilo\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce positive results of caustic fusion analyses of micro-diamond samples by the Saskatchewan Research Council (\"SRC\") from kimberlites K4 and K10. To date, 27 kimberlites that have been identified in the Nxau Nxau province which stretches over an area of some 40 by 25km oriented in a NW-SE orientation. An analysis of the technical characteristics of the known kimberlites in the Nxau Nxau field was initiated in 2010. Additional mineral chemistry and petrography work was necessary for some of the kimberlites and this was completed in late 2010. A review of this data resulted in the decision to submit samples from three kimberlites (K4, K10 and K20) for micro-diamond analysis, in order to conduct a first-pass evaluation for these bodies. Micro-diamond work had previously been conducted on six kimberlites in the Nxau Nxau field resulting in the recovery of a singleton diamond from three and two diamonds from one of them. A review of the methodology of this work was not regarding as qualitative. Approximately 200kg of drill core from each of K4, K10 and K20 were submitted for analyses to the SRC laboratory in Canada in 2010 and results were recently provided.  All holes were drilled using HQ size core utilizing synthetic diamond drill bits.  Two of the three kimberlites submitted for analysis had positive micro-diamond recoveries as follows:-----------------------------------------------------------------------        Number of Diamonds per Sieve Size (mm square Mesh sieve)-----------------------------------------------------------------------Kimberlite #  Total Sample  Total Number  0.106 0.150 0.212 0.300 0.425 Sample ID      Weight (kg)   of Diamonds    mm    mm    mm    mm    mm-----------------------------------------------------------------------K4   05/26           8           ...
