Avannaa discovers more diamonds at Qeqertaa, West Greenland
Published on Nov 11, 2008
Avannaa Resources Limited is pleased to report that new sampling during the 2008 field season at its diamond discovery at Qeqertaa in West Greenland significantly strengthens the diamond potential at this locality. 1487 diamonds including at least 10 macrodiamonds were recovered from a 434 kg sample. Diamonds were also discovered at Anap Nunaa, some 30 km northeast of Qeqertaa. This is clear evidence that the mantle underlying the Ataa Sund region of West Greenland was within the diamond stability window during emplacement of kimberlite-type dykes and pipes.
