ATW Resources Ltd. has mobilized a sonic drill system and geological crew to start a till sampling program on its Mackay Lake diamond property, in the Northwest Territories of Canada. Drilling will be through the ice on Mackay lake, and the purpose of this program is to seek the source of a 20 kilometre long indicator mineral train in glacial till that was traced easterly and up ice to this part of the property. Besides olivines, orthopyroxenes and clinopyroxenes, various samples show the indicator mineral assemblage to contain 16% to 20% G10 garnets with moderate-Cr203 well represented. This train was cut off to the east by a row of blank holes. The next fence of holes is west and down ice direction 5 kilometres and holes in this line contain the type of indicator minerals just described. The kimberlite source is therefore believed to be in this five kilometre by 0.5 kilometre area, and should be diamondiferous.
This year's effort will be aimed at tightening up line spacing sufficiently to locate the source kimberlite. One hundred holes have been budgeted for, to be followed by ground geophysics and diamond drilling if time and ice conditions permit.
The ATW Project is between and roughly equidistant from the Diavik and Snap Lake diamond deposits. The Mackay Lake project is a joint venture of ATW Resources Ltd. (75%), Aberex Minerals Ltd.(15%), and SouthernEra Resources Ltd. (10%). ATW itself is owned by Almaden Minerals Ltd. (40%) Troymin Resources Ltd. (20%), and Williams Creek Explorations Ltd. (40%).
