RJK Explorations of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, has increased its land position around its Bishop diamond claims near Cobalt. A minimum of 17 potential kimberlite targets plus the Kon kimberlite showing were acquired.
The Kon kimberlite is the only known kimberlite south of Cobalt between the Lake Timiskaming and Montreal River faults. It has never been drilled or sampled. RJK can earn a 100% interest.
