![]() | Pebble Resources I have been following this one since November when I got an inbox to check out the website. Read it over and was pretty excited to see it finally list. I have been radaring looking for a good entry since. I finally bought in at .31c last Monday. VANCOUVER, March 6 /CNW/ - Pebble Creek Mining Ltd. (the "Company"Wink holds 100 per cent interest in a reconnaissance permit on 2,190 square kilometers in southwestern Uttar Pradesh. Late in 2006 the Company and De Beers India Pvt. Ltd. executed a Consulting Services Agreement that grants De Beers the right to earn 85 per cent equity interest in a Prospecting Licence at Banda by performing all exploration and taking the project through to a feasibility study. De Beers would also earn the right to market any diamonds mined from Banda. If De Beers elects to continue, the 85 per cent interest would be established by forming a new company before May, 2009, when, under Indian law, the Reconnaissance Permit must be surrendered or converted to a Prospecting Licence. The Banda prospect is located 30 kilometers northeast of the Panna district in the neighboring state of Madhya Pradesh. There are several diamond districts in India, both alluvial and bedrock, which are mined by irregular, local miners. The kimberlite pipes near Panna constitute the only diamond mining district in India that has been mined systematically in recent years by a company, National Mineral Development Corporation, an Indian government undertaking. The diamonds at Panna occur in kimberlite pipes as well as alluvium and unconsolidated overburden. West of Panna another 15 kimberlite pipes have been discovered recently by Rio Tinto according to public statements by Biplob Chatterjee, Exploration Manager - India for Rio Tinto. Drilling is in progress at present. East of Panna, and south of Banda, diamonds have been found and mined from a "fossil" placer deposit in Proterozoic conglomerate, the Vindhyan formation. For many years it has been a common assumption that the Vindhyan diamonds were derived from the bedrock pipes of Panna. This assumption has been challenged by recent scientific work. Geological Survey of India geologist, Dr. T.K. Rao, presented a paper in 2006 concluding that diamonds found in the Vindhyan are quite different from the Panna and Hinota diamonds and came from a different source or provenance. Dr. Rao concluded on geologic grounds that this provenance could only be the Banda area to the north. The Banda area is nearly all concealed by the thin south edge of alluvium in the Ganges and Yamuna river floodplains where the Ken, Ranj and Baghain rivers flow north into the floodplain. Dr. Rao suggests an integrated exploration program in the Banda area. De Beers recently informed the Company that it had started ground reconnaissance on the Banda area and was planning an airborne magnetic survey as the next step in exploration. The Company has specialized in India during the last 12 years and holds a variety of mineral rights and applications there. Forward-Looking Statements. This news release contains forward-looking statements, which address future events and conditions, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results, programs and financial position could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors, some of which may be beyond the Company's control. These factors include: the availability of funds; the timing and content of work programs; results of exploration activities and development of mineral properties; the interpretation of drilling results and other geological data, the uncertainties of resource and reserve estimations, receipt and security of mineral property titles; project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, fluctuations in metal prices; currency fluctuations; and general market and industry conditions. Forward-looking statements are based on the expectations and opinions of the Company's management on the date the statements are made. The assumptions used in the preparation of such statements, although considered reasonable at the time of preparation, may prove to be imprecise and, as such under reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.
