We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Cant disagree Bonnie lets hope we see a massive route to market this year and Finnish line we can only live in hope
Sure as egg is egg and this diamond comes in ,i fear for anyone trying to get in here .
My gut feeling is this will go over night and massive shock (we hope )
ONE THING FOR SURE WE ARE SAT ON A FORTUNE AS LONG AS THEY GET IT OVER THE FINNISH LINE !!!
olivine lamproite IS THE ARGYLE KEY HERE AND PERHAPS THE PROF WANTS HIS CROWN 2024 AND NOT FROM THE GOOD LORD ,LOL

US lab-grown diamond producer files for bankruptcy
12 Oct 2023 — WD Lab Grown Diamonds, the second-largest US producer of man-made diamonds, has filed for bankruptcy, becoming the sector's first big
Nope
Genuine Fancy diamonds are commanding big money
If we have.found the next Argyle mine

Our tiny company won’t be tiny for much longer
Kev mentioned at AGM he wanted to revisit Seitapera
Far more exciting things there?
The Riihivaara 26 exploration permit covers Karelian Diamond's kimberlite (olivine lamproite) discovery at Riihivaara. Exploration permits Riihivaara 24, 24a and 24b cover the adjacent areas. The Riihivaara permits are in an emerging kimberlite field, in which the Company has to date identified 20 regional anomalies.
olivine lamproite ;-))
Argyle Diamonds come by their name rightly: they’re from the specific Argyle mine in Western Australia. Though some of the diamonds from Argyle are pink, not all of them are—as pink diamonds are very rare. In a certain sense, the Argyle name is a brand name. They’ve even developed their own grading report for pink diamonds and a unique color chart for other Fancy diamonds.
The unique composition of Argyle diamonds is attributed to a volcanic pipe—commonly known as the Argyle pipe—made of olivine lamproite. Due to an eruption, minerals such as zeolite, micas, kaolinite and clays interacted with the diamonds during their formation. Most Argyle diamonds contain small amounts of nitrogen impurities, but the majority of their color is tied to structural defects of the crystal lattice.

Well spotted Yogi your the man;-]
You crack on vamp ,been there got the badge and the bill .
Never going to happen !!Only EGM will be a deal coming ...........
2016 April
355 garnet analyses on samples provided by Karelian from the Company’s Riihivaara prospect in
Finland were carried out by Rio Tinto in their Melbourne laboratories in Australia. The samples
provided were from outcrop and till. The garnet analysis comprised kimberlite indicator methods of
MLA (Mineral Liberation Analysis) screening followed by laser-ablation ICP-MS (Inductively
Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrometry) analysis.
Lherzolitic (“G9”) garnets were dominant but scattered high interest harzburgitic (“G10”) garnets
were also present. Some evidence of metasomatism was associated with the G9 and G10 populations.
Eclogitic garnets, with restricted range in chemical composition of potential diamond-association,
were reported from the outcrop sample.
Garnet thermobarometry was also calculated to estimate the geotherm in the Riihivaara area. The
results indicate that the geotherm is prospective for diamonds. The geotherm in Riihivaara is similar
to that in the Kaavi-Kuopio kimberlite field in Finland and to kimberlite fields in Southern Africa.

not to be confused with the additional 23 targets of A5 ????
How would you know where or what parts to lockdown and license if you haven’t already sampled the entire area 🤔🤔😂🇫🇮????
As far as am aware they have never announced a further maximum extension before???
Very significant news
As per normal unless you study this, you will be forgiven for thinking fluffy announcement. !!
Lahtojoki
Northern Ireland news
To follow???,
The Company's kimberlite discovery at Riihivaara is circa 10 kilometres to the south of where the Company discovered a green diamond. As announced on 19 December 2023, the search for the source of the green diamond has recently been narrowed down quite substantially through recent work undertaken by Karelian Diamonds .
Packed up for sell ,sell board just gone up ???-]Hmmmmmmmmmm
Riihivaara 26, Riihivaara 24, 24a and 24b in the Kuhmo region of Eastern Finland
Certainly looks a emerging province !!
RIIHIVAARA EXPLORATION PERMITS EXTENDED
Extension granted for Exploration Permit Riihivaara 26 (Riihivaara Kimberlite discovery)
Adjacent Riihivaara Exploration Permits 24, 24a and 24b also extended
Karelian Diamond Resources plc ("Karelian Diamonds") (AIM: KDR) is pleased to announce that the Company has received notification from the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency (Tukes) of the granting of an extension for a further 3 years, the maximum period allowed per extension to the Company's exploration permits Riihivaara 26, Riihivaara 24, 24a and 24b in the Kuhmo region of Eastern Finland.
The Riihivaara 26 exploration permit covers Karelian Diamond's kimberlite (olivine lamproite) discovery at Riihivaara. Exploration permits Riihivaara 24, 24a and 24b cover the adjacent areas. The Riihivaara permits are in an emerging kimberlite field, in which the Company has to date identified 20 regional anomalies.
The Company's kimberlite discovery at Riihivaara is circa 10 kilometres to the south of where the Company discovered a green diamond. As announced on 19 December 2023, the search for the source of the green diamond has recently been narrowed down quite substantially through recent work undertaken by Karelian Diamonds .
The Riihivaara kimberlite comes to surface and extends for at least 350 metres. It is a dyke which remains open in both directions along strike with widths of up to two metres intersected. Drilling has already successfully intersected kimberlite at a deeper level and has also shown that the dyke dips at circa 50° to the Northeast.
Mineral chemistry at the site shows that diamond indicator Group I eclogitic garnets are abundant and that diamond type chromites are also present. Ilmenite analysis indicates a good diamond preservation index. Mineral chemistry also shows that more than one source may be present.
It is known that kimberlites tend to occur in clusters and that potentially diamondiferous sources may exist in the vicinity of the Riihivaara kimberlite. To this end Karelian Diamonds has also extended the Riihivaara 24, 24A and 24B exploration permits.
The Company believes the Kuhmo region of Finland has high prospectivity for diamondiferous kimberlites both through its own exploration results in the Kuhmo region, including the discovery of a green diamond, and also by the presence of the Seitaperä diamondiferous kimberlite, circa 8 kilometres to the northwest of Riihivaara, which Karelian Diamonds has shown to extend over a surface area of 6.9Ha - the largest known kimberlite in Finland.
Professor Richard Conroy, Chairman, Karelian Diamond Resources PLC commented:
"The granting of the extension to the Riihivaara exploration permits enables the Company to continue and extend its exploration programme in this highly prospective area of Finland".
AT LEAST WE HAVE LOCKED DOWN THE AREA ,HANDS OFF !!
Sadly it mirrors a private not public sector company
Very family oriented .
But as mentioned before they will want their cake and eat it ….
Question 250 k placing at a time is only keeping the lights on ( or made to look that way)
Contribute was a word used in recent placing last year
Finland might not have issued the Permit yet.
But nothing to do with Kuhmo and Northern Ireland
Unless a major agreement on all 3 wings
Repetitive tweets on copper?
Can’t see egg 🍳 on their faces if ODM are very excited
About time we were for once !!!??
Rio Tinto Exploration Finland Oy organized a public event open to everyone to tell about their plans in Kuhmo
The people of Kuhmo did not seem particularly concerned about the company's ore prospecting activities, as only four people had arrived, two of them landowners in the ore prospecting area
Funny Kuhmo is KDR. Held the majority
Coincidence Hmmmmmmm
Hess another point of view
Gravy trains or tactics 🤔
Option 1
Kevin mentioned in AGM for those who attended
We have the source of A5 within our back yard 2sqklm
Now it a major has connections with us then surely they would throw the kitchen sink at this to conclude what could be the Grib pipe especially as the recovery of a green diamond
Third most expensive diamond you can wish for !!
Option 2
Northern Ireland
ODM were on the phone straight away saying the samples were off the scale. He also mentioned
This was from our top geologist not Prof !!
Option 3.
Lahtojoki
Prof daughter said to me have you seen the diamonds from Lahtojoki?
I replied yes
She replied we have blue diamonds in there !!
Top of the pops diamond chart
1 Blue
2 pinks
3 green
4Yellow
The remaining Lahtojoki clear were very high quality
I challenged them on why top investors were not included in last placement or invited in ??
Prof replied. Hard to get new investors and the diamond industry dropped slightly, but the European wide ban on Russian exports should increase the caret price ( can’t be that hard as we were never asked ??!!!…..
Personally I think they are feathering the nest
All hedge bets on Kdr not big sister…
They will want the gravy surrounding the finest steak that’s for sure .
They had the opportunity to walk EGM
But had to buy themselves out of trouble
That’s spelled this company has worth
That was before NI
But he did say it was expected by the end of 23 complete
Prof said at AGM
The appeal was sorted out easily but the change of boundaries meant it had to go back to the start again
I think that’s what he was saying
Timber another good week 🤦♀️
Maybe Blues also
Even more valuable then pinks
