Another copper asset in Finland now ?
Revisit Kev said at AGM
Very clever building two prong minerals ?
Looks like it’s already started

Interesting article soda
With many. Companies like North Arrow putting their diamond projects on care and repair would. Agree
But Lahtojoki a small project in comparison holds extremely fancy gems , pink and blue and Rio fancy markers needs stock ? Now and the market already there demand outweighs supply
Kuhmo. When ! Confirmed and a deal concluded will take several years to become a mine
Environment l, mining. Permission???
Then we have another ace card copper?
As frustrating as this family run company appears, am still convinced we have experienced geological evidence we are on the money.
When will that happen .???
Who knows but we can’t be far away and permit looming and that’s holding us up I think???
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 mine was the first successful commercial non alluvial diamond mine not located on a kimberlite pipe. The pipe is named "AK-1", although it is commonly simply called the "Argyle pipe". The volcanic pipe is a diatreme, composed of olivine lamproite, present as tuff and lava
What was in.KDR release yesterday olivine lamproite💎😳🇫🇮🔥
“Diamonds are still a niche pursuit for Rio: sales in the division hit £800 million last year, paling by comparison with its bulk commodities arm…. Rio’s only other diamond mine is Diavik in Canada, which produces white diamonds and a few rare yellow stones. It, too, is winding down and is slated to close in 2026.
Could we tiny KDR be a replacement 💎🤔
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.
INTRESTING

Would be a open pit mine (TO START OFF? )add olivine lamproite) and this is rather exciting for another Arygle type mine full of Finnish Promise of Fancy gems and right up Rio street ???!!!
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?

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.
Exploration permits Riihivaara 26, Riihivaara 24, 24a and 24b in the Kuhmo region of Eastern Finland.

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. !!

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 !!
