To prove a diatreme-shaped electromagnetic (EM) and magnetic anomaly is a kimberlite pipe, initial drilling must move beyond geophysical interpretation to confirm the presence of kimberlitic rock and, crucially, to obtain samples for mineralogical, petrographic, and petrological analysis.

Initial Drilling Requirements to Prove Kimberlite:

• Diamond Core Drilling (DDH): This is the primary and essential method for initial testing, as it provides a continuous, high-quality rock sample for geological logging.

o Positioning: The first hole should be targeted directly into the center or the highest-intensity part of the magnetic/conductivity anomaly.

o Inclination: Drilling should ideally be vertical for smaller pipes to maximize intersection time, or at an angle (-45° to -60°) to cut across the estimated boundaries of the diatreme if the pipe diameter is larger.

o Core Size: Standard Core size (e.g., HQ or NQ) is used, although large-diameter drilling (RC) is needed later for bulk sampling (diamond grade).

• Initial Drilling Strategy:

o "Twin" the anomaly: At least one, but preferably two or three, strategically placed diamond drill holes (DDH) should be used to confirm the pipe exists, assess its vertical and horizontal extent, and identify the facies (crater, diatreme, or root).

o Depth: Drilling must penetrate through the overburden into the bedrock, ideally continuing for at least 50-100 meters within the suspected kimberlite to confirm it is not just a thin sheet or dike.

Key Objectives of Initial Drilling:

1. Lithological Identification: Confirm the rock is kimberlite (magmatic/fragmental textures, macrocrystic olivine) rather than other rock types (e.g., lamproite, basalt, gabbro).

2. Facial Analysis: Distinguish between crater-facies (volcaniclastic), diatreme-facies (tuffisitic), or hypabyssal kimberlite.

3. Confirming Geometry: Drilling validates the magnetic/EM-interpreted shape and size of the pipe (e.g., circular vs. elongated).

4. Indicator Mineral Identification: The core is logged for the presence of "diamond indicator minerals" (G10 pyrope garnets, picroilmenite, chromite).

Follow-Up After Initial Drilling:

Once the pipe is confirmed by drilling (and often petrography), if indicator minerals or geological characteristics are promising, large diameter Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling (e.g., 609–914 mm) is used to obtain a bulk sample for diamond grade analysis.

All indications are that this large (soon to be confirmed) kimberlite is very large, diatreme shaped, diamondiferous, sampled the diamond stability field on the way up and has excellent chemistry. One of the 7 soil samples returned a green diamond. What if the drill core returns a diamond from the Kimberlite. I mean finding a green diamond in a till sample is unbelievably rare, and they did it. Could KDR return a diamond from drill core. Can’t rule that out.

I am intrigued to know who the investors are at 1.5p. Says to me they know their onions. Maybe after the source of the green diamond is confirmed we will find out. I hope so. I don’t underestimate the significance of that. If A5 is the Stonker source that they believe, and the elephant that KDR and others have been chasing for 20+ years, then, someone will want to secure it for a future mine. Especially if comparable to the Russian deposits. Whilst the general diamond market is poor at the moment, it likely won’t be in the future. So if it turns out to be world class, then it’s an asset worth securing…… a processing plant can be constructed at Lahtojoki that can also be used to progress A5. It’s an obvious opportunity for a mining company or people with deep pockets. Of that I am sure. That’s the scenario I see playing out. At some point this will become more obvious and the market react. GLA

Money raised at 1.5p (a 300% premium to the share price)………..drilling ongoing to confirm source of green diamond………..money owed to directors expected to be linked to future company success soon (as per the rns)……..There is no way on earth that the share price should be sub 1p……market makers need to get real here and we need to see fair value

This is one not to be out of at the moment I think. GLA

A reminder, worth watching again

If I remember correctly there are warrants at 1.5p that could raise a further £600k +, so some news flow here and we could see those exercised. Not to be sniffed at in the current climate. Will be interesting to see

This should be at least 1.5 by now based on last week’s news. MM’s should not be holding this back

A £4m backing for a two year drill campaign would be nice for Northern Ireland. We know there is currently a lot of interest in critical metals in Ireland at the moment, and this includes Northern Ireland. You get the feeling something come happen for KDR in Northern Ireland.

I listened to this yesterday. KDR from 1hr in. Sounds like hoops also took part. Fair play if he did.

Also, if the drilling was ongoing last Friday, its probably in its second week of drilling. It wont take long to do this initial drilling, then to test to confirm the source of the green diamond found. Given time is a factor with the drill weather window, I suspect this will be a busy rig. If they confirm its kimberlite, the source of the green diamond and hence diamondiferous, then we also know that it is likely very large, given the two diatreme-shaped electromagnetic anomalies were identified for drilling. Getting exciting.

Whoever has invested at a 300% premium obviously knows their onions and that this is massively undervalued, as alluded to in Fridays RNS.

The company now say they plan to align all the payments of amounts owed to former and current directors, with future company success. This is fantastic and would be a great move by the company, and increase our attractiveness to any potential partners/investors. With the GM 100 GL Geomachine drill rig turning at Anomaly 5, this could surprise many. Good luck to all long term holders here.

Confirmation last week that the drilling to confirm the source of the green diamond is ongoing and I believe imagery of the current drill rig in action was provided via KDRs twitter page.

Would agree mr Magorium, toffee has continued to spout complete nonsense here. Quite nasty towards hoops, who is respected here. As a result hoops has decided to leave the forum behind. I notice his back catalogue is gone too. Toffee you probably should be careful making up stuff on this board about the main shareholder. You have helped to reduce the board to childish nonsense, so much so that i have stopped reading it. Everybody here knows it. There is no research of interest being shared here because of Toffees bitterness. I think I will take a leaf out of hoops book and take my research elsewhere. Toffee you are not invited. I wish all the genuine holders here all the best in the coming months, but this board has become too toxic. Your loss toffee.

Looks like will do the same as CGNR with the re-structuring of remuneration amount's owed. We saw what that did for the CGNR share price. That will be very positively received. Nobody here can disagree with that. Follow that by announcing the securing of appropriate strategic or partnership finance and I could see KDR with a very different share price. Think about it!

Another week of tumbleweed rolls by. It’s massively undervalued and I see this re-rating on news of a partner /financial backing. Surely that cannot be far away. That said, I am completely biased here. I think management will deliver for us shareholders.

Couple of smart buys today. Well done whoever. Nice timing.

Toffee, you sound like you want the share price lower…. Always talking this down with negativity. Would you be happy if the share price goes up and continues upward? Would your comments change to positive or would you continue to talk it down. I can honestly say i would never talk down a share I own. Why would someone do that? If you are so concerned, go to an AGM or offer your advice on how things can improve here. Otherwise it just gets tiresome.

Agree KDR shielded from the weak diamond market by the concentration on fancy coloured diamonds like pinks. That’s a niche market and they are hardly any diamond juniors left out there. So KDR look to be sitting in prime position to even though the market thinks nothing of it. Any news of a strategic partner can cause an immediate rerate in the KDR share price. But until we see that sort of news, nobody here will believe it

8 months without any news is not acceptable. Its almost mid Feb 2026 now. In fact the only company releases I am seeing are Hoops TR1's. Thats not how it should be. No offence hoops!
