[{"type":"text","content":"Margaret Lake Diamonds Announces Arctic Star Provides Details of the Birch Kimberlite Diagras, Lac De Gras, NWTVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2021) - Margaret Lake Diamonds Inc. (TSXV: DIA) (FSE: M85) (OTC: DDIAF) (\"MLD\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce Arctic Star Exploration Corp. (\"Arctic Star\" or the \"Company\") has received more detailed geological logs for the Birch kimberlite. Dan Gainer, P. Geo., has logged the core in Yellowknife. Dan is a geologist who is familiar with kimberlites and has recognized two kimberlite types in the two drill holes drilled at Birch.Kimberlite 1 is described as a black olivine poor resedimented volcanoclastic kimberlite and Kimberlite 2 as a grey clast supported olivine rich resedimented volcanoclastic kimberlite. Kimberlite 1 has a high percentage of mudstones imparting the dark colour. Kimberlite 2 has an abundant mantle derived fragments and indicator minerals whereas these are not common in Kimberlite 1. It was noted that kimberlite 2 contained fragments of kimberlite 1. Table 1 summarizes the geology from the 2 Birch kimberlite holes, the first drilled vertical and the second drilled to the east at 82.2 degrees dip from the same location. Table 1.
