  • Ownership – 100 % GGL
  • Location – Lac de Gras Region, Northwest Territories. Centered 55 km SSW of Ekati Diamond Mine, 40 km SW of Diavik Diamond Mine

The Bishop mining lease contains the diamondiferous Bishop kimberlite discovered in 2006. The property is south of and on trend with the economic diamond deposits of the Ekati diamond mine.

This region of Lac de Gras was extensively explored by GGL over a decade ago and included multiple seasons of exploration campaigns. Detailed airborne geophysics and heavy mineral sampling dominated the work. High resolution ground geophysical surveys followed up on airborne targets prioritized by indicator mineral results. This work resulted in the discovery of the Bishop kimberlite which returned 11 diamonds from the initial 78.2 kilogram sample. Further review of the Bishop data suggests that additional drilling is required to thoroughly evaluate the geology, geometry and diamond distribution throughout the kimberlite as additional phases may be present.

A large gravity anomaly proximal to Bishop was subsequently tested with several short reverse circulation drill holes. This drilling intercepted a small amount of kimberlite. Further ground geophysics followed by core drilling is required to determine the size and potential grade of this kimberlite discovery.
