As shown\non\n \n \n Figure 1\n \n \n , Northway covers a 1.2 km magnetic anomaly located along the\nsame structural setting as H-K, the Kapuskasing Structural Zone (KSZ).\n \n \n \n \n Drill Hole NW022-001 was completed to 282m. Drilling\nintersected a diatreme breccia pipe preserved below Paleozoic\nlimestone and sandstone cover, after which the drill program was\ndemobilized, on time and on budget.  The Company has now confirmed\nthat the diatreme breccia is a kimberlite pipe.\n \n \n \n \n The drill hole\n \n \n intersected only\nthe weathered, uppermost portion on the eastern edge of the kimberlite\npipe at Northway. Despite that, VR has initiated a range of petrology,\nwhole-rock geochemistry and mineral chemistry studies which are\nongoing. Drill core photos included in this news release provide a\nsnapshot of the array of textures and important mineralogy observed\nto-date, including accretionary Kimberley-type pyroclastic kimberlite\nbreccia textures (“KPK”), and garnet-bearing eclogite xenoliths.\n For a complete assessment of the diamond potential, VR pla...
