The many colors of diamonds

THE DIAMOND STABILITY FIELD HAS BEEN TAPPED! 

 Material coming from the crater facies eruptive, whole rock, and recent trenching within the vent parameters are shown to contain the following mineralogy:  Cr-spinel plot – several grains plot well inside the compositional field of chromite inclusions in diamond.  Most grains are interpreted as having been derived from peridotitic source rocks, most likely spinel +/- garnet-bearing dunite, harzburgite, lherzolite and various pyroxenites as indicated by the distribution of data (see "Model").   Minerals viewed to date by credentialed labs include Kasmir Blue type sapphires; and chemistries are similar to those minerals found in commercial diamond mines such as the large Argyle deposit in Australia.   Substantial numbers of diamonds have been found in alluvial gold operations in rivers draining the Sierra Nevada mountain range, all of which have been found either within the fan surrounding Sierra Diamond Exploration’s location or downstream from it.   Further data is available for review by contacting owner/developer Elinor O'Rourke - 530-532-6425

 

This is an example of gemstone quality Benitoite. In addition to data proving the Diamond Stability Field has been tapped @ our location, it has been determined we also have Benitoite in our samples from that general location with ongoing exploration and proving of values, for this exciting diamond discovery.  During the timeframe,early in our exploration stages, that we were using Western Archon as our Corporate Vehicle, (2002/03) Dan Hausel, one of, if not the World's Foremost Expert in Unconventional Diamond structures, determined Benitoite is an intregal part of the minerals found to exist in our values.

The next recommended drilling and mini-bulk sampling program is to commence in the summer of 2007.

It is anticipated our drilling program will pinpoint the gold lying throughout the overlying volcanic breccia covering  (overlaying) the pipes of this structure. The 2.4 oz. per ton fire assay indicates values should be located accordingly.
