Karelian Share Price (KDR)

Was waiting for the profit takers to dry up, Most shares i flip but this one i am holding for the medium term and i guess a lot of others will be doing the same, great find this little (soon to be much bigger) company.

90,000 ct/ton diamond implying that some diamonds occur within very high-grade pods or thin seams in the lithospheric mantle. to our knowledge, this is one of the most diamondiferous samples described.

world class diamond mine 40/60 ct per one hundred tons is good return ...this is per ton

diamondiferous group a eclogites constitute a minor portion of the mantle-derived xenoliths in the eastern finland kimberlites. they have been derived from the depth interval 150–230 km where they are inferred to occur as thin layers or small pods within co****-grained garnet peridotites. the chemical and isotopic composition of minerals suggest that they represent (proterozoic?) mantle-derived melts or cumulates rather than subducted oceanic lithosphere. during magma ascent and emplacement of the kimberlites, the eclogite xenoliths were mechanically and chemically rounded judging from the types of surface markings. in addition, those octahedral crystal faces of diamonds that were partially exposed from the rounded eclogite xenolith became covered by trigons and overlain by microlamination due to their reaction with the kimberlite magma. the diamonds bear evidence of pervasive plastic deformation which is not, however, evident in the eclogite host. this suggests that annealing at ambient lithospheric temperatures has effectively recrystallised the silicates while the diamond has retained its lattice imperfections and thus still has the potential to yield information about ancient mantle deformation. one of our samples is estimated to contain approximately 90,000 ct/ton diamond implying that some diamonds occur within very high-grade pods or thin seams in the lithospheric mantle. to our knowledge, this is one of the most diamondiferous samples described.

Diamond exploration in Finland started in 1985, and has been continuous, albeit with varying levels of activity, since that time. As a result, diamondiferous rocks have been found in three regions—namely, the Kuhmo-Lentiira area hosting a group of 1200 Ma orangeites, the Kuusamo-Hossa area containing several 760 Ma kimberlites, and the Kaavi-Kuopio area with a cluster of ∼600 Ma kimberlites. Driven by the needs of these exploration activities, our understanding of the makeup of the Karelian craton, and our understanding of the magmas that have transported diamonds to the surface in this part of the world have benefitted enormously.

Terhi Tulenheimo– Project Geologist - Finland

Terhi Tulenheimo has over 20 years experience in

exploration particularly diamond exploration in Finland

including at European Diamonds where she worked on the

Lahtojoki project.

Met Terhi Tulenheimo at AGM .THIS lady is part of the team whom found the Grib pipe in Russia with her Boss Roy spencer

Teri is brilliant ,so glad we have her with us

With Kevin and Andrew will bring the Kuhmo drill in winter to the next world class discovery baring fancy gems ,we will see but evidence suggests wehave it big time
