20-Oct-2005
Everfor Diamonds plc - Operations Update Six months on from the April report there have been significant advances made by the company in the exploration of its Pulongskaya, Varzugskaya, Ermakovskaya and Tulomo-Teriberskaya licences in the Kola Peninsula.

All of the results from the 3100 stream and soil samples collected throughout the licences in 2004 have been received and the 2005 sampling season is now complete. Indicator mineral grains, whose chemistry strongly suggests a diamondiferous source rock, have been recovered from over twenty samples.

The remaining airborne geophysical survey in the Pulongskaya licence was successfully completed; interpretation of all of the data from the three surveys flown has highlighted over one hundred anomalies of interest.

Work is underway in planning a major drilling campaign in early 2006 which will reveal the sources of the targets generated from both the indicator mineral grain and geophysical survey results.

SAMPLING

The season began in early June, in all four licences. Work this year was split into two phases – the follow-up of results of interest from the 2004 programme and the continuation of reconnaissance sampling in the remainder of each licence area. As results were received during the season from the laboratories, so the number of follow-up areas increased.

There were no changes made to the methods of sample collection but trenches and pits were excavated in the areas of most interest to try to gain as much information as possible on ice transport directions and distances. In addition, where warranted, samples were collected from horizons within the pits to recover additional indicator minerals.

A grand total of 2521 soil and stream samples were collected by the end of the season in late September. Priority samples are en-route to the South African laboratories.

SAMPLE RESULTS

All of the 3071 samples collected in 2004 have been visually examined for kimberlite indicator minerals in the three size ranges +1.18mm, -1.18+0.6mm and -0.6+0.3mm. Due to their size, many of the samples were split into four aliquots; only 1 aliquot per sample was examined in the interests of swift sample turnaround. If the aliquot was positive, no further visual examination was undertaken of the remaining aliquots. If the result was negative, a decision was then taken on whether a second aliquot should be sent for examination.

Many samples contained one or more species of indicator mineral, with approximately 10% of the total samples being positive. The visual results are as follows: -

Licence Total Positive Samples Garnet grains Ilmenite grains Chrome Diopside grains Spinel grains
Pulongskaya 62 5 40 23 56
Varzugskaya 54 5 30 19 327
Ermakovskaya 129 12 50 28 116
Tulomo-Teriberskaya 54 11 12 64 113

After visual examination, the surface textures of the grains were examined for evidence of distance (or duration) of transport.

Approximately 350 grains of interest were noted, with 195 being flagged as close to source or relatively unabraded during transport.

The glacial nature of much of the transporting medium requires that the geologists' field notes be examined for remarks made at each sample site on the probable transport distance and direction.

All of the grains recovered have been subject to microprobe examination. This allows their individual mineral chemistries to be compared and contrasted to the chemistry trends exhibited by grains from known kimberlites. Conventional mineral chemistry interpretations are summarised below, although it must be noted that major advances have recently been made in this field of study by Mineral Services Limited of Cape Town. Professor John Gurney believes that much more information on the diamondiferous nature of the source rocks can be obtained using proprietary interpretive techniques. Accordingly, the grains have been submitted for further analysis.

At least 24 samples contain kimberlite indicator minerals whose chemistry suggests a diamondiferous source rock; there are frequently additional minerals in the same sample whose chemistry is of lesser interest. These numbers do not include chrome diopsides whose sources span such a wide range of rocks that they are of limited interest if they alone occur in a sample.

Licence Samples with Garnet Samples with Ilmenite Chrome Diopsides Samples with Spinel
Pulongskaya 2 3 2 discrete populations 3
Varzugskaya 2 0 2 populations 4
Ermakovskaya 2 0 2 populations 2
Tulomo-Teriberskaya 3 1 3 populations 2

(Note: - only the indicator mineral variety of the greatest interest is tabled)

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYING AND RESULTS

The airborne electromagnetic survey in Pulongskaya, rescheduled from November 2004, was completed in late April. A summary of the interpretations carried out on all of the surveys indicates:

Licence Priority 1 Targets Priority 2 Targets Priority 3 Targets
Pulongskaya 2 11 31
Ermakovskaya 2 12 16
Tulomo-Teriberskaya 4 10 32

Priority 1 targets are recommended for immediate drilling; Priority 2 targets are recommended for drilling if is there is some direct supporting (e.g. sample result) evidence and Priority 3 targets generally require both additional work and supporting evidence before drilling can be recommended.

Drilling is strongly recommended for the Blue Lake target in the Pulongskaya licence, where two Priority 1 geophysical anomalies have been interpreted, one underlying the lake in question.

OTHER WORK

Drilling was attempted on a geophysical anomaly, ERM 41, in the Ermakovskaya licence, but the drill did not reach the required depth to explain the anomaly. A visual inspection of the site was carried out in August by both Everfor's Managing Director and Chief Geophysicist and a decision made to re-drill the anomaly in early 2006 with a different drill rig.

In the Tulomo-Teriberskaya licence, a single sample containing one garnet of moderate chemistry and three chrome diopside grains was taken in close proximity to a circular lake. The lake was a marked feature on a satellite image of the area, being blue in colour whereas surrounding lakes were black. Surface textures of the grains indicated that they had travelled only a short distance from source. Four holes were drilled around the lake as it was not possible to drill in the lake itself or to drilled inclined holes under the lake. Three holes intersected granite, but the fourth hole, to the south of the lake, encountered pyroxenite, indicating that some invasion of the bedrock has taken place by deep-seated igneous rocks. Additional sampling has since taken place, the results of which will determine the requirement to re-drill within the confines of the lake.

Rock samples were obtained from Ermakovska 7, one of the two known kimberlites lying within the Ermakovskaya licence. A sample was submitted for examination to E M W Skinner of Rhodes University in South Africa, a noted expert in kimberlite petrography. Skinner concluded that the rock was of high interest and assigned a diamond grade, on petrographic evidence alone, of the same magnitude as the grade obtained through bulk sampling. He also concluded that the presence of olivine melilitites in the Ermakovskaya licence was not a downgrading factor in the search for kimberlites either in this or other licences within the Karelian Craton.

IMMEDIATE FUTURE WORK

The samples taken as follow-up to grains of interest recovered from the 2004 work or over geophysical anomalies have been prioritised for shipment to the South African laboratories. The results will be used, together with all existing or expected data, to prioritise targets for a drilling campaign planned to start in mid-February 2006.

CONCLUSIONS

Results of significant interest have been generated from both the 2004 indicator mineral sampling and geophysical surveying programmes. These results confirm the diamondiferous potential of the ground within Everfor's licences. In 2005, further sampling in the areas defined by these good results was undertaken to assist in prioritising targets for a drilling campaign to begin, on schedule, in early 2006.

Everfor Diamonds plc - Private Placing and Proposed Move to AIM

The Directors of Everfor Diamonds plc ("the Company") are pleased to announce that a private placement of 12,500,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("the Initial Private Placement") has been made to RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited ("RAB") at the issue price of 4 pence per share. The Initial Placement will raise GBP500,000 which will be used to fund the current drilling programme which is scheduled to commence in April. The drilling programme will test each of the Company's most prospective targets and results are expected to be available in the third quarter of this year.

The Company has requested that the additional shares be admitted to trading on Ofex. After the Initial Private Placing RAB will have an interest in 15,833,333 shares or 22.43%, an increase from the current interest of 3,333,333 shares (5.74%). The directors' holding will decrease to 10.27% of the issued share capital after the Inital Private Placing (from 12.38%).

The Company also intends to complete a second private placement of shares ("the Second Private Placement ") in the next few weeks to existing shareholders and selected institutional investors. This fundraising will be used for further exploration and working capital. The Second Private Placement will also be made at the issue price of 4 pence per share so as to allow existing shareholders the opportunity to participate on the same terms as the Initial Private Placement. RAB has indicated that it will also participate in the Second Private Placement, up to a maximum of GBP500,000.

The board of directors have also commenced proceedings to apply for the Company's share capital to be admitted to the AIM of London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM"). The proposed timing of the AIM admission is dependent on regulatory and AIM admissions criteria, but the Company is targeting an admission date within the next four weeks.

Executive Chairman, Dr Sergey V. Kurzin said: "We are very excited about the funding of the current drilling programme. We are very pleased to be able to include existing shareholders into the fundraising and taking the Company to an AIM listing is very gratifying. These events are all very significant in the Company's development".

Well now you know the background to this Rusian Diamond exploration as with all Diamond explorations it is risky but as the data above shows there would appear to be more than a 50/50 chance of striking a diamondiferous kimberlite and if that happens the share price will shoot and if it turns out to be a potential commercially realistic prospect than the it will rocket......if it does not then I guess its hasta la vista........

I am a share holder since ofex days and took up my placement rights to average down. After an initital period when they had a huge number of targets (over 300) they have narrowed the number down to a more economical and realistic initial 90 targets to drill.

The drilling started this April so cross fingers and hope for good news soon.

Everfor Diamonds PLC was formed in January 2004 with the specific intention of exploring in the Russian Federation. This was based upon a positive technical assessment by the then geological consultant (now Managing Director), which highlighted the untapped potential of the Kola Peninsula. The extensive network of contacts available to the Executive Chairman allowed swift applications for ground to be made and four licence areas for diamond prospecting were granted.

Pulongskaya and Ermakovskaya contain core areas where close-interval sampling and some geophysical surveying has taken place by previous explorers. Two known kimberlites are located in the Ermakovskaya licence. In 2004, prospecting activities planned for these licences included combined detailed aeromagnetic and electromagnetic surveys together with sampling and ground follow-up work to an earlier, less-detailed aerial magnetic survey. The Ermakovskaya survey was complete by November 2004 but the survey in Pulongskaya was rescheduled for March-April 2005.

In Varzugskaya, initial work was planned at the reconnaissance level, including sampling and a re-interpretation of 1980's magnetic surveys. More detailed sampling was carried out in areas of positive reconnaissance results.

The most northerly licence, Tulomo-Teriberskaya, is virtually unprospected but lies within ground which, by all conventional criteria is highly prospective for diamonds. In 2004, approximately half of the licence was flown with a high-quality, high-resolution magnetic survey. Stream and glacial till sampling took place in the same area.

Location, Geology and Diamond Prospectivity
Location
Murmansk is a two-hour journey from Moscow by commercial air carrier. The majority of the Kola Peninsula (700 km E-W and 300 km N-S) lies within the Arctic Circle and is therefore subject to the climatic peculiarities of that region. From West to East the land surface changes from a rolling forested surface (taiga) with abundant (glacially formed) lakes to Arctic tundra on the coast of the Barents Sea.

Figure 1



Much of the area is by accessible only by helicopter or on foot. Recent environmental lobbying significantly precludes the use of tracked vehicles. Access to the extreme east is by either sea, helicopter or by vehicle over the frozen beaches in the winter. The severity of the climate and the lack of daylight in the "Polar Winter" (November - January) reduces the field season to the months of mid-February and April and from the end of May to early October.

Geology and Theoretical Diamond Prospectivity
It remains true that the vast majority of economic diamond-bearing igneous rocks (kimberlites or lamproites) occur within cratons. Cratons are areas of continental (as opposed to oceanic) crust, which have been essentially undisturbed by deep-seated or major geological disruption.

The accepted age of cratonisation critical to the hosting of diamondiferous kimberlites is 2500 Million years before present.
Rocks formed before this date are referred to as Archaean. For kimberlites to entrain diamonds in their upward migration from ~200km depth, the craton must possess a keel of thick, cool lithosphere which will allow diamond formation at these depths.

Figure 2



In Figure 2, the Kola Peninsula is shown as part of the Karelian Craton, a large area of Archaean cratonic rocks in north Europe.

Notable details of the craton include:
A lithospheric thickness of 150-200km
A heat flow of less than 40 mW/m2 ("cool")
The occurrence of diamondiferous kimberlites within an Archaean age background
The presence of deep faults which may provide pathways for kimberlite intrusion
In summary, the Kola Peninsula satisfies all of the conventionally acceptable criteria for the potential of a given area to host diamond-bearing source rocks. The fact that only limited exploration has already revealed (two) diamondiferous kimberlites indicates that the potential has been realised, albeit only to a minor extent as yet.

Key geological elements of the Kola Peninsula

There are three major units recognised within the peninsula.

The northernmost unit is known as the Murmansk Block and comprises late Archaean-age (2.83-2.6 6a) granites. The southernmost unit, the White Sea (Belomorsk) granite-greenstone Block, is dated as late Archaean, 2.85-2.65 6a. Occupying the ground between these two blocks is a mobile belt, comprising various terranes of varying ages and rock types, ranging from 3.03 to 2.1 6a. Thus, at least some of the mobile belt was stabilised by the late Archaean and should be considered prospective. To the south, the White Sea Blocks abuts the Archaean Karelian Craton, known to host diamond-bearing intrusive rocks.

The eastern extremity of the Kola Peninsula is separated from the Archangel Winter Coast by approximately 60 kilometres of sea (the White Sea Throat). It appears that the geological cause of this marine incursion is a fairly simple fault, perhaps with a sinistral strike-slip component and with the upthrow being to the west. There does not appear to be any deep-seated vertical continuity to this crustal fault, as the depth of the Mohorovicic Discontinuity is similar across the fault.

Various structures offering intrusion pathways have been described over the entire area: north-south lineaments and NW-SE trending horst and graben structures, which are noted in the Archangel diamond fields, appear to be traceable across the White Sea Throat into the Kola Peninsula.

Summary of theoretical Diamond Prosptctivity

The key structural and geological elements required for the presence of diamond-bearing igneous rocks are all displayed within the Kola Peninsula. The fact that the peninsula itself is host to known diamond-bearing intrusives, combined with the presence of the Archangel (diamondiferous) kimberlite fields to the SE and the Finnish kimberlite fields to the SW is clear evidence that the theoretical prospectivity is proven in practice.


In 2004, some 3100 samples in all four licence areas were collected from both streams and glacial tills during the summer sampling season from early June until late September. Geochemical samples were collected at the same time. In Ermakovskaya, approximately 600 km2 was flown using Fugro's RESOLVE(tm) electromagnetic system. This system, an evolution of the highly successful DIGHEM(tm) system used in Canada, detects both electromagnetic and magnetic responses. The plan to fly over 700 km2 in Pulongskaya had to be rescheduled to early 2005 because of the onset of Polar winter.



Tulomo-Teriberskaya


In Tulomo-Teriberskaya, some 2000 km2 was surveyed for aerial magnetic responses, utilising the services of a Moscow-based geophysical company, Aerogeophysica.

This area lies to the south of Murmansk and on both sides of the Murmansk-St Petersburg highway.



It has a total area of 3800 km2 and it is essentially unprospected. On theoretical grounds, it ranks highly in ground prospective for diamonds. A recent alluvial discovery of diamond near Murmansk, about which little is known except that approximately forty +0.3mm diamond fragments (reportedly not from the drill-bit) were recovered during a water-drilling programme, gives a low level of credence to the theory.

Ermakovskaya

The 2100 km2 licence area lies immediately to the west and congruent with, Varzugskaya. Although a significant proportion of the work undertaken was carried out in the mid 1980's to the early 1990's, work around the two known Ermakovskaya kimberlites took place from 2000 onwards.




Orientation work, using ground Frequency Domain ElectroMagnetic surveys was undertaken over the known pipes; results indicate that this method is suitable for exploration in this area.

Again, airborne magnetic data is currently available for this area, although in gridded format.

The high interest of the area is based on the presence of two (poorly) diamondiferous kimberlites and indicator mineral chemistry analyses from grains recovered in the stream sampling programmes. It is considered unlikely that only two kimberlites exist within the area - kimberlites tend to group in clusters.

Varzugskaya

This licence lies some 135 kilometres to the east of Pulongskaya, occupying 4500 km2 of ground. It was partially sampled between 1986 and 1990, and "a few" low-interest garnets were recovered, together with Cr-diopside and Cr-spinel grains. Aeromagnetic surveys were carried out - the eastern half of the current area was flown in 1985-1986 and the western half in 1984. This (gridded) data is digitally available.




The location of the licence between Pulongskaya and Ermakovskaya (see next section) and the general paucity of work undertaken allows the area to be viewed as of significant potential interest. There are no downgrading factors revealed by the work undertaken to date.

Pulongskaya
The area occupies 2300 km2 of ground in the south-east of the Kola Peninsula. Only 800 km2 of ground in the east is believed to have been sampled effectively. Recoveries of unabraded sub-calcic pyrope garnet grains and occasional diamonds from these stream samples leads to the conclusion that this area is of high interest in the search for diamondiferous kimberlites.



An airborne magnetic survey was flown in 1986-87 over the entire current licence area, although only gridded digital data is currently available. Interpretations of the data resulted in ground magnetic surveys being undertaken, which, when combined with an interpretation from aerial photographs, resulted in 30 drilling targets. Some thirty to forty holes were drilled, although the overburden was not routinely sampled for indicator minerals. All holes were drilled 5 to 10 metres into bedrock, although not all the targets were explained by the rocks encountered.


Work Programme 2004 – 2005
The bulk of the expenditure was planned to be spent on the acquisition of geophysical data, both from past surveys and from surveys to be flown in 2004. Historical data was obtained, on a test basis, to establish whether there was value to be added by reprocessing with modern algorithms and filters. Although it was possible, with detailed manipulation of the data, to interpret a number of targets of possible interest, the precise locations could not be unequivocally established. Added to this was the fact that a large proportion of the historical data was in gridded, not raw format. The exercise was discontinued.

Combined electromagnetic and magnetic surveys, using a proprietary system, RESOLVE(tm), were planned over the core areas of the Pulongskaya and Ermakovskaya licences. The earlier version of this system, DIGHEM(tm), was used with great success in the Canadian Slave Craton, an area of geographical and geological similarity.

Historical sampling concentrated upon streams or beaches with only a small number of samples being collected from the interfluvial (between streams) areas. In 2004, the emphasis was reversed, with glacial till samples taken to try to narrow the areas of interest indicated by the results of stream sampling.

The Directors of Everfor Diamonds plc ("the Company") are pleased to announce that a private placement of 12,500,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company ("the Initial Private Placement") has been made to RAB Special Situations (Master) Fund Limited ("RAB") at the issue price of 4 pence per share. The Initial Placement will raise GBP500,000 which will be used to fund the current drilling programme which is scheduled to commence in April. The drilling programme will test each of the Company's most prospective targets and results are expected to be available in the third quarter of this year.

The Company has requested that the additional shares be admitted to trading on Ofex. After the Initial Private Placing RAB will have an interest in 15,833,333 shares or 22.43%, an increase from the current interest of 3,333,333 shares (5.74%). The directors' holding will decrease to 10.27% of the issued share capital after the Inital Private Placing (from 12.38%).

The Company also intends to complete a second private placement of shares ("the Second Private Placement ") in the next few weeks to existing shareholders and selected institutional investors. This fundraising will be used for further exploration and working capital. The Second Private Placement will also be made at the issue price of 4 pence per share so as to allow existing shareholders the opportunity to participate on the same terms as the Initial Private Placement. RAB has indicated that it will also participate in the Second Private Placement, up to a maximum of GBP500,000.

The board of directors have also commenced proceedings to apply for the Company's share capital to be admitted to the AIM of London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM"). The proposed timing of the AIM admission is dependent on regulatory and AIM admissions criteria, but the Company is targeting an admission date within the next four weeks.

Executive Chairman, Dr Sergey V. Kurzin said: "We are very excited about the funding of the current drilling programme. We are very pleased to be able to include existing shareholders into the fundraising and taking the Company to an AIM listing is very gratifying. These events are all very significant in the Company's development".

Everfor Diamonds plc - Operations Update Six months on from the April report there have been significant advances made by the company in the exploration of its Pulongskaya, Varzugskaya, Ermakovskaya and Tulomo-Teriberskaya licences in the Kola Peninsula.

All of the results from the 3100 stream and soil samples collected throughout the licences in 2004 have been received and the 2005 sampling season is now complete. Indicator mineral grains, whose chemistry strongly suggests a diamondiferous source rock, have been recovered from over twenty samples.

The remaining airborne geophysical survey in the Pulongskaya licence was successfully completed; interpretation of all of the data from the three surveys flown has highlighted over one hundred anomalies of interest.

Work is underway in planning a major drilling campaign in early 2006 which will reveal the sources of the targets generated from both the indicator mineral grain and geophysical survey results.

SAMPLING

The season began in early June, in all four licences. Work this year was split into two phases – the follow-up of results of interest from the 2004 programme and the continuation of reconnaissance sampling in the remainder of each licence area. As results were received during the season from the laboratories, so the number of follow-up areas increased.

There were no changes made to the methods of sample collection but trenches and pits were excavated in the areas of most interest to try to gain as much information as possible on ice transport directions and distances. In addition, where warranted, samples were collected from horizons within the pits to recover additional indicator minerals.

A grand total of 2521 soil and stream samples were collected by the end of the season in late September. Priority samples are en-route to the South African laboratories.

SAMPLE RESULTS

All of the 3071 samples collected in 2004 have been visually examined for kimberlite indicator minerals in the three size ranges +1.18mm, -1.18+0.6mm and -0.6+0.3mm. Due to their size, many of the samples were split into four aliquots; only 1 aliquot per sample was examined in the interests of swift sample turnaround. If the aliquot was positive, no further visual examination was undertaken of the remaining aliquots. If the result was negative, a decision was then taken on whether a second aliquot should be sent for examination.

Many samples contained one or more species of indicator mineral, with approximately 10% of the total samples being positive. The visual results are as follows: -

Licence Total Positive Samples Garnet grains Ilmenite grains Chrome Diopside grains Spinel grains
Pulongskaya 62 5 40 23 56
Varzugskaya 54 5 30 19 327
Ermakovskaya 129 12 50 28 116
Tulomo-Teriberskaya 54 11 12 64 113

After visual examination, the surface textures of the grains were examined for evidence of distance (or duration) of transport.

Approximately 350 grains of interest were noted, with 195 being flagged as close to source or relatively unabraded during transport.

The glacial nature of much of the transporting medium requires that the geologists' field notes be examined for remarks made at each sample site on the probable transport distance and direction.

All of the grains recovered have been subject to microprobe examination. This allows their individual mineral chemistries to be compared and contrasted to the chemistry trends exhibited by grains from known kimberlites. Conventional mineral chemistry interpretations are summarised below, although it must be noted that major advances have recently been made in this field of study by Mineral Services Limited of Cape Town. Professor John Gurney believes that much more information on the diamondiferous nature of the source rocks can be obtained using proprietary interpretive techniques. Accordingly, the grains have been submitted for further analysis.

At least 24 samples contain kimberlite indicator minerals whose chemistry suggests a diamondiferous source rock; there are frequently additional minerals in the same sample whose chemistry is of lesser interest. These numbers do not include chrome diopsides whose sources span such a wide range of rocks that they are of limited interest if they alone occur in a sample.

Licence Samples with Garnet Samples with Ilmenite Chrome Diopsides Samples with Spinel
Pulongskaya 2 3 2 discrete populations 3
Varzugskaya 2 0 2 populations 4
Ermakovskaya 2 0 2 populations 2
Tulomo-Teriberskaya 3 1 3 populations 2

(Note: - only the indicator mineral variety of the greatest interest is tabled)

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYING AND RESULTS

The airborne electromagnetic survey in Pulongskaya, rescheduled from November 2004, was completed in late April. A summary of the interpretations carried out on all of the surveys indicates:

Licence Priority 1 Targets Priority 2 Targets Priority 3 Targets
Pulongskaya 2 11 31
Ermakovskaya 2 12 16
Tulomo-Teriberskaya 4 10 32

Priority 1 targets are recommended for immediate drilling; Priority 2 targets are recommended for drilling if is there is some direct supporting (e.g. sample result) evidence and Priority 3 targets generally require both additional work and supporting evidence before drilling can be recommended.

Drilling is strongly recommended for the Blue Lake target in the Pulongskaya licence, where two Priority 1 geophysical anomalies have been interpreted, one underlying the lake in question.

OTHER WORK

Drilling was attempted on a geophysical anomaly, ERM 41, in the Ermakovskaya licence, but the drill did not reach the required depth to explain the anomaly. A visual inspection of the site was carried out in August by both Everfor's Managing Director and Chief Geophysicist and a decision made to re-drill the anomaly in early 2006 with a different drill rig.

In the Tulomo-Teriberskaya licence, a single sample containing one garnet of moderate chemistry and three chrome diopside grains was taken in close proximity to a circular lake. The lake was a marked feature on a satellite image of the area, being blue in colour whereas surrounding lakes were black. Surface textures of the grains indicated that they had travelled only a short distance from source. Four holes were drilled around the lake as it was not possible to drill in the lake itself or to drilled inclined holes under the lake. Three holes intersected granite, but the fourth hole, to the south of the lake, encountered pyroxenite, indicating that some invasion of the bedrock has taken place by deep-seated igneous rocks. Additional sampling has since taken place, the results of which will determine the requirement to re-drill within the confines of the lake.

Rock samples were obtained from Ermakovska 7, one of the two known kimberlites lying within the Ermakovskaya licence. A sample was submitted for examination to E M W Skinner of Rhodes University in South Africa, a noted expert in kimberlite petrography. Skinner concluded that the rock was of high interest and assigned a diamond grade, on petrographic evidence alone, of the same magnitude as the grade obtained through bulk sampling. He also concluded that the presence of olivine melilitites in the Ermakovskaya licence was not a downgrading factor in the search for kimberlites either in this or other licences within the Karelian Craton.

IMMEDIATE FUTURE WORK

The samples taken as follow-up to grains of interest recovered from the 2004 work or over geophysical anomalies have been prioritised for shipment to the South African laboratories. The results will be used, together with all existing or expected data, to prioritise targets for a drilling campaign planned to start in mid-February 2006.

CONCLUSIONS

Results of significant interest have been generated from both the 2004 indicator mineral sampling and geophysical surveying programmes. These results confirm the diamondiferous potential of the ground within Everfor's licences. In 2005, further sampling in the areas defined by these good results was undertaken to assist in prioritising targets for a drilling campaign to begin, on schedule, in early 2006.

Everfor Diamonds PLC was formed in January 2004 with the specific intention of exploring in the Russian Federation. This was based upon a positive technical assessment by the then geological consultant (now Managing Director), which highlighted the untapped potential of the Kola Peninsula. The extensive network of contacts available to the Executive Chairman allowed swift applications for ground to be made and four licence areas for diamond prospecting were granted.

Pulongskaya and Ermakovskaya contain core areas where close-interval sampling and some geophysical surveying has taken place by previous explorers. Two known kimberlites are located in the Ermakovskaya licence. In 2004, prospecting activities planned for these licences included combined detailed aeromagnetic and electromagnetic surveys together with sampling and ground follow-up work to an earlier, less-detailed aerial magnetic survey. The Ermakovskaya survey was complete by November 2004 but the survey in Pulongskaya was rescheduled for March-April 2005.

In Varzugskaya, initial work was planned at the reconnaissance level, including sampling and a re-interpretation of 1980's magnetic surveys. More detailed sampling was carried out in areas of positive reconnaissance results.

The most northerly licence, Tulomo-Teriberskaya, is virtually unprospected but lies within ground which, by all conventional criteria is highly prospective for diamonds. In 2004, approximately half of the licence was flown with a high-quality, high-resolution magnetic survey. Stream and glacial till sampling took place in the same area.

Location, Geology and Diamond Prospectivity
Location
Murmansk is a two-hour journey from Moscow by commercial air carrier. The majority of the Kola Peninsula (700 km E-W and 300 km N-S) lies within the Arctic Circle and is therefore subject to the climatic peculiarities of that region. From West to East the land surface changes from a rolling forested surface (taiga) with abundant (glacially formed) lakes to Arctic tundra on the coast of the Barents Sea.

Figure 1



Much of the area is by accessible only by helicopter or on foot. Recent environmental lobbying significantly precludes the use of tracked vehicles. Access to the extreme east is by either sea, helicopter or by vehicle over the frozen beaches in the winter. The severity of the climate and the lack of daylight in the "Polar Winter" (November - January) reduces the field season to the months of mid-February and April and from the end of May to early October.

Geology and Theoretical Diamond Prospectivity
It remains true that the vast majority of economic diamond-bearing igneous rocks (kimberlites or lamproites) occur within cratons. Cratons are areas of continental (as opposed to oceanic) crust, which have been essentially undisturbed by deep-seated or major geological disruption.

The accepted age of cratonisation critical to the hosting of diamondiferous kimberlites is 2500 Million years before present.
Rocks formed before this date are referred to as Archaean. For kimberlites to entrain diamonds in their upward migration from ~200km depth, the craton must possess a keel of thick, cool lithosphere which will allow diamond formation at these depths.

Figure 2



In Figure 2, the Kola Peninsula is shown as part of the Karelian Craton, a large area of Archaean cratonic rocks in north Europe.

Notable details of the craton include:
A lithospheric thickness of 150-200km
A heat flow of less than 40 mW/m2 ("cool")
The occurrence of diamondiferous kimberlites within an Archaean age background
The presence of deep faults which may provide pathways for kimberlite intrusion
In summary, the Kola Peninsula satisfies all of the conventionally acceptable criteria for the potential of a given area to host diamond-bearing source rocks. The fact that only limited exploration has already revealed (two) diamondiferous kimberlites indicates that the potential has been realised, albeit only to a minor extent as yet.

Key geological elements of the Kola Peninsula

There are three major units recognised within the peninsula.

The northernmost unit is known as the Murmansk Block and comprises late Archaean-age (2.83-2.6 6a) granites. The southernmost unit, the White Sea (Belomorsk) granite-greenstone Block, is dated as late Archaean, 2.85-2.65 6a. Occupying the ground between these two blocks is a mobile belt, comprising various terranes of varying ages and rock types, ranging from 3.03 to 2.1 6a. Thus, at least some of the mobile belt was stabilised by the late Archaean and should be considered prospective. To the south, the White Sea Blocks abuts the Archaean Karelian Craton, known to host diamond-bearing intrusive rocks.

The eastern extremity of the Kola Peninsula is separated from the Archangel Winter Coast by approximately 60 kilometres of sea (the White Sea Throat). It appears that the geological cause of this marine incursion is a fairly simple fault, perhaps with a sinistral strike-slip component and with the upthrow being to the west. There does not appear to be any deep-seated vertical continuity to this crustal fault, as the depth of the Mohorovicic Discontinuity is similar across the fault.

Various structures offering intrusion pathways have been described over the entire area: north-south lineaments and NW-SE trending horst and graben structures, which are noted in the Archangel diamond fields, appear to be traceable across the White Sea Throat into the Kola Peninsula.

Summary of theoretical Diamond Prosptctivity

The key structural and geological elements required for the presence of diamond-bearing igneous rocks are all displayed within the Kola Peninsula. The fact that the peninsula itself is host to known diamond-bearing intrusives, combined with the presence of the Archangel (diamondiferous) kimberlite fields to the SE and the Finnish kimberlite fields to the SW is clear evidence that the theoretical prospectivity is proven in practice.


In 2004, some 3100 samples in all four licence areas were collected from both streams and glacial tills during the summer sampling season from early June until late September. Geochemical samples were collected at the same time. In Ermakovskaya, approximately 600 km2 was flown using Fugro's RESOLVE(tm) electromagnetic system. This system, an evolution of the highly successful DIGHEM(tm) system used in Canada, detects both electromagnetic and magnetic responses. The plan to fly over 700 km2 in Pulongskaya had to be rescheduled to early 2005 because of the onset of Polar winter.



Tulomo-Teriberskaya


In Tulomo-Teriberskaya, some 2000 km2 was surveyed for aerial magnetic responses, utilising the services of a Moscow-based geophysical company, Aerogeophysica.

This area lies to the south of Murmansk and on both sides of the Murmansk-St Petersburg highway.



It has a total area of 3800 km2 and it is essentially unprospected. On theoretical grounds, it ranks highly in ground prospective for diamonds. A recent alluvial discovery of diamond near Murmansk, about which little is known except that approximately forty +0.3mm diamond fragments (reportedly not from the drill-bit) were recovered during a water-drilling programme, gives a low level of credence to the theory.

Ermakovskaya

The 2100 km2 licence area lies immediately to the west and congruent with, Varzugskaya. Although a significant proportion of the work undertaken was carried out in the mid 1980's to the early 1990's, work around the two known Ermakovskaya kimberlites took place from 2000 onwards.




Orientation work, using ground Frequency Domain ElectroMagnetic surveys was undertaken over the known pipes; results indicate that this method is suitable for exploration in this area.

Again, airborne magnetic data is currently available for this area, although in gridded format.

The high interest of the area is based on the presence of two (poorly) diamondiferous kimberlites and indicator mineral chemistry analyses from grains recovered in the stream sampling programmes. It is considered unlikely that only two kimberlites exist within the area - kimberlites tend to group in clusters.

Varzugskaya

This licence lies some 135 kilometres to the east of Pulongskaya, occupying 4500 km2 of ground. It was partially sampled between 1986 and 1990, and "a few" low-interest garnets were recovered, together with Cr-diopside and Cr-spinel grains. Aeromagnetic surveys were carried out - the eastern half of the current area was flown in 1985-1986 and the western half in 1984. This (gridded) data is digitally available.




The location of the licence between Pulongskaya and Ermakovskaya (see next section) and the general paucity of work undertaken allows the area to be viewed as of significant potential interest. There are no downgrading factors revealed by the work undertaken to date.

Pulongskaya
The area occupies 2300 km2 of ground in the south-east of the Kola Peninsula. Only 800 km2 of ground in the east is believed to have been sampled effectively. Recoveries of unabraded sub-calcic pyrope garnet grains and occasional diamonds from these stream samples leads to the conclusion that this area is of high interest in the search for diamondiferous kimberlites.



An airborne magnetic survey was flown in 1986-87 over the entire current licence area, although only gridded digital data is currently available. Interpretations of the data resulted in ground magnetic surveys being undertaken, which, when combined with an interpretation from aerial photographs, resulted in 30 drilling targets. Some thirty to forty holes were drilled, although the overburden was not routinely sampled for indicator minerals. All holes were drilled 5 to 10 metres into bedrock, although not all the targets were explained by the rocks encountered.


Work Programme 2004 – 2005
The bulk of the expenditure was planned to be spent on the acquisition of geophysical data, both from past surveys and from surveys to be flown in 2004. Historical data was obtained, on a test basis, to establish whether there was value to be added by reprocessing with modern algorithms and filters. Although it was possible, with detailed manipulation of the data, to interpret a number of targets of possible interest, the precise locations could not be unequivocally established. Added to this was the fact that a large proportion of the historical data was in gridded, not raw format. The exercise was discontinued.

Combined electromagnetic and magnetic surveys, using a proprietary system, RESOLVE(tm), were planned over the core areas of the Pulongskaya and Ermakovskaya licences. The earlier version of this system, DIGHEM(tm), was used with great success in the Canadian Slave Craton, an area of geographical and geological similarity.

Historical sampling concentrated upon streams or beaches with only a small number of samples being collected from the interfluvial (between streams) areas. In 2004, the emphasis was reversed, with glacial till samples taken to try to narrow the areas of interest indicated by the results of stream sampling.

Any fellow Blues here?

Away from the profane noises of the bulletin boards, does anyone share my view that much of the problem behind EFC's travails is the repreatedly poor choice of manager (the most important man at the club): Walker, Royle, Smith ... and now Moyes.

Blues worship the Ginger Whinger; I say sack him for alienating our prize assets and having no tactical acumen and basing his team slections on personal preference rather than player quality (Campbell over Ferguson, for instance).

Sorry, Davie, some of us have seen through you.
