Stornoway Tames Renard

摘要

In fable and song, Renard is a cunning fox. He understands his home, its nooks and crannies, where its secrets lie. But if you are Stornoway Diamond Corp., you have outsmarted the fox thanks to thorough exploration, determination and a vision of the future that includes Quebec's first diamond mine. Diamond exploration began on the Foxtrot property 350km north of Chibougamau, Que., in 1996. Five years later, partners Ashton Mining Canada and Soquem, had discovered and drilled five Renard kimberlites. Results were promising, and a conceptual study of Renard 2 3, 4 and 65 pipes was prepared in 2004. Bulk sampling followed the construction of a 10-t/h DMS plant at the Renard 2 kimber-lite in 2006.
