Tres-Or drills Guigues kimberlite in Quebec

The Guigues kimberlite pipe in northern Quebec, 10 km from Notre-Dame-du-Nord, was discovered by De Beers in 1983. But despite its long history, it has never seen modern microdiamond testing. Tres-Or Resources (TSXV: TRS) is hoping to change that this year with a five-hole drill program.

Tres-Or president and CEO Laura Lee Duffett says exploration at the project is already advanced. “We’re not looking for kimberlite, we’re not looking for chemistry – we already know what we have. These are now the more advanced tests to quantify and evaluate what we have at Gig.” Continue reading at The Northern Miner.
