Kimber-X Reviewing Fort a La Corne Data.


WILMINGTON, Del. -- Kimber-X Resources Corp. (Pink Sheets:KRXR) Kimber-X wishes to confirm that the Company has received the available detailed geological information and outline of proposed work requested from its potential joint venture partner with regard to participating in a joint venture for a sizable siz·a·ble also size·a·ble  
adj.
Of considerable size; fairly large.



siza·ble·ness n.
 claim block in the Forte a La Corne area of Saskatchewan. The Forte a la Corne area may host one of the most extensive kimberlite kimberlite: see diamond.
kimberlite
 or blue ground

Dark, heavy, often fragmented igneous rock that may contain diamonds in the rock matrix.
 fields in the world and possibly the world's largest diamond deposit. Recently the two largest diamonds recovered in Saskatchewan of 49.50 and 22.56 carats were discovered in Fort a la Corne. The Company's geological evaluators are now reviewing and assessing the provided data with a view to participating and providing the requested funding.

The Fort a la Corne kimberlite field has seen significant advancements in geological and geophysical ge·o·phys·ics  
n. (used with a sing. verb)
The physics of the earth and its environment, including the physics of fields such as meteorology, oceanography, and seismology.
 perception that has expanded the understanding of the nature of these deposits and the potential for other discoveries in the region. This combined with successful bulk sampling programs defines an increase in diamond size distribution that has significantly added to the confidence of the project and the drive toward an exploration decision.

The immediate area surrounding Fort a La Corne is geologically similar and is highly favorable fa·vor·a·ble  
adj.
1. Advantageous; helpful: favorable winds.

2. Encouraging; propitious: a favorable diagnosis.

 to host additional kimberlite clusters. World models for kimberlite emplacement patterns points to a clustering effect that is generally offset by significant sub clusters. A review of assessment work for areas surrounding Fort a La Corne clearly indicates that up to now little to no effort has been applied to advance the understanding of the regional potential to host significant additional extensions. Initially the joint venture proposes to review the available data and to conduct a more detailed aeromagnetic survey An aeromagnetic survey is a common type of geophysical survey carried out using a magnetometer aboard or towed behind an aircraft. The principal is similar to a magnetic survey carried out with a hand-held magnetometer, but allows much larger areas of the Earth's surface to be  of certain portions of the Property to confirm the results of the Company's theories regarding low frequency sites.

Unique geological circumstances CIRCUMSTANCES, evidence. The particulars which accompany a fact.
     2. The facts proved are either possible or impossible, ordinary and probable, or extraordinary and improbable, recent or ancient; they may have happened near us, or afar off; they are public or
 in the region have resulted in the kimberlites size and tonnage TONNAGE, mar. law. The capacity of a ship or vessel.
     2. The act of congress of March 2, 1799, s. 64, 1 Story's L. U. S. 630, directs that to ascertain the tonnage of any ship or vessel, the surveyor, &c.
 to be up to one hundred times any found worldwide totaling over 10 billion tonnes. The Sask craton craton (krā`tŏn): see continent.  axis runs directly through the joint venture area. The physical form of the kimberlites allow for open pit development at a low stripping ratio. The location of the kimberlite bodies in central Saskatchewan allows for exploration and development in an area that has significant infrastructure lowering cost of building and operating a diamond mine.
