Overview
Strongbow’s portfolio of diamond exploration properties comprises over 1 million hectares of ground, including land positions in several of Canada’s most high profile diamond exploration areas including Lac de Gras, Northwest Territories, the Coronation Gulf and Melville Peninsula districts of Nunavut, and the James Bay lowlands area of Ontario. Each of these areas is known to host diamondiferous kimberlites and provide Strongbow with excellent exposure to the diamond potential of Canada’s north.

Exploration of existing properties by Strongbow and partners has seen the collection of over 3000 till samples and almost 80,000 line kilometres of airborne geophysical data. In 2003 alone, almost 1200 till samples and over 20,000 line kilometres of fixed wing magnetic data were collected.

Much of Strongbow’s exploration to date has focused on upgrading properties from the grass roots to drill ready stage. A measure of the success of these programs is the fact that Strongbow and partners have drilled three properties in 2004 (Starfish, Wales Island and Bear), resulting in the discovery of two new kimberlites on the Wales Island property. Further drilling is planned in 2005 at both Wales Island and the LDG property. Many properties, including large early stage land positions on the Melville peninsula (Fury, Sarcpa) and southern Coronation district (Napaktulik, Blue Lake) will see further till sampling, prospecting and possible ground geophysical surveys.
