DIADEM RELEASES ANALYTICAL RESULTS FROM FLETCHER LAKE, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES PROPERTY.TORONTO, ONTARIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--APRIL 11, 1995--DIADEM RESOURCES (ME: DIR) DIADEM diadem, in ancient times, the fillet of silk, wool, or linen tied about the head of a king, queen, or priest as a distinguishing mark. Later, it was a band of gold, which gave rise to the crown. In heraldry, the diadem is one of the arched bars that support the crown. RESOURCES LTD LTD 1 Laron-type dwarfism 2 Leukotriene D 3 Long-term depression, see there 4. Long-term disability . ("Diadem") (DIR.ME) has received the results from 91 heavy minerals concentrate from its Fletcher Lake property in the Northwest Territories. Diadem has a 60 percent interest in this property, which is tied-on to the east of the Mountain Province property on which a diamond discovery was recently announced. Mountain Province's significant diamond discovery is located approximately 10 kms south-west of Diadem's property boundary. The study showed minor amounts of two second order kimberlite indicator minerals chrome spinel spinel, magnesium aluminum oxide, MgAl2O4, a mineral crystallizing in the isometric system, usually as octahedrons. It occurs as an accessory mineral in basic igneous rocks, in aluminum-rich metamorphic rocks, and in contact-metamorphosed and olivine. The source of these minerals could be kimberlites or other rocks of ultrabasic ul·tra·ba·sic adj. Containing magnesium and iron and only a very small amount of silica. Used of igneous rock. ultrabasic Containing magnesium and iron and only a very small amount of silica. affinity. These second order indicator minerals line up in four distinct glacial trains, as confirmed by striation striation /stri·a·tion/ (stri-a´shun) 1. the quality of being marked by stripes or striae. 2. a streak or scratch, or a series of streaks. stri·a·tion n. 1. measurements: (1) The southwesterly south·west·er·ly adj. 1.

(2) The south-central trend terminates in a distinct low amplitude single line magnetic high which could relate to a pipe-like intrusive. (3) The north-central trend appears to have its source in a broad magnetic body one mile long which is part of larger magnetic feature of unknown cause. (4) The northwest trend lines up with the edge of a high amplitude Mackenzie dyke which obscures any possible source intrusive. Additional exploration will be required to evaluate these targets.
