TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2013 – Kennady Diamonds Inc. (“Kennady Diamonds”, the “Company”) (TSX-V: KDI) is pleased to announce the initial diamond recovery results from the 2013 summer drill program at the 100 percent controlled Kennady North diamond project, located in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Approximately 3,454 kilograms of kimberlite was recovered from 21 holes drilled at the Northwest Lobe of the Kelvin kimberlite.
