Frontier Diamonds Limited advises of the intersection of first fresh kimberlite at the Bellsbank Kimberlite Pipe Exploration Project (Bellsbank) during blast hole drilling. Bellsbank is situated 10 km from Frontier's existing 74%-owned Sedibeng Diamond Mine in the Northern Cape Province, South Africa. Blast hole drilling at Bellsbank has intersected uncalcretised kimberlite material at a depth of 27m below surface. The exploration pit currently being mined at Bellsbank has been designed to extract a minimum bulk sample of 100kt of this fresh kimberlite material. The blast conducted last week should allow processing of this material to commence within 3-4 weeks. The material is set to be treated at a rate of approx. 20kt per month through the recently completed, dual-purpose tailings and bulk sample processing plant at Sedibeng. The biggest stone recovered from an earlier plant commissioning sample taken from shallower, calcretised Bellsbank material was 1.45 carats. The quality of the Bellsbank diamonds appears readily comparable with Sedibeng. An independent Competent Person's Report on Bellsbank has confirmed the presence of a kimberlite pipe deposit, approximately 0.35ha in size with a possible fissure extension to the north and south, and with estimated grade of 10 to 30 cpht. Detailed economic evaluation, including mineral inventory estimates, is expected to commence in the coming months. The Bellsbank property is located 10km west of the Company's Sedibeng Diamond Mine, located approximately 110km northwest of Kimberley in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The pipe is a 130m x 80m "blow" on a proven fissure system and was discovered through ground magnetics and gravity surveying. Mining of the Bellsbank exploration pit continues to advance. The current depth of the pit is approximately 20m and mining activities remain within the hard calcrete zone which covers the upper 27m of the kimberlite pipe. Blast hole drilling at Bellsbank also recently intersected uncalcretised kimberlite material at a depth of 27m below surface. The exploration pit currently being mined at Bellsbank has been designed to extract a minimum bulk sample of 100kt of this fresh kimberlite material. Extraction and processing of this material is expected to commence within three to four weeks. The material is set to be treated at a rate of approximately 20kt per month through the recently completed, dual-purpose tailings and bulk sample processing plant at Sedibeng. As previously announced, the biggest stone recovered from an earlier plant commissioning sample taken from shallower, calcretised Bellsbank material was 1.45 carats. The quality of the diamonds recovered from that sample appears readily comparable with gems from the nearby Sedibeng operations.
