Today's News regarding
Carolyn Pipe Core results from 2004


United Uranium Corp. and Star Uranium Corp. Announce Results of Sampling of Carolyn Pipe
Tuesday January 22, 6:57 pm ET


SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN--(Marketwire - Jan. 22, 2008) - United Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UUC - News) and Star Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SUV - News) are pleased to announce sample results of drill core from the "Carolyn" Kimberlite pipe in the Fort a la Corne area. This drilling took place in 2004 and consisted of 5 holes of which 4 encountered kimberlite. In the companies news release of June 15, 2004 sample results were reported for holes C1 and C2. Because of costs, management indicated that holes C4 and C5 would be tested at a later date. Holes C4 and C5 were subsequently sampled and analyses were received in June 2006. Due to an oversight by management at that time, the details of these results were not disclosed. The current management has become aware of this oversight, and is releasing the results of the sampling of holes C4 and C5.

Analysis of approximately 210.0 kg of split NQ core from holes C4 and C5 yielded 6 diamonds. The other half of the split core has been retained in a secure building.

Analysis was by total dissolution using caustic fusion, carried out by the Saskatchewan Research Council, which is certified under ISO 17025.

Sample A, representing core from 194.4 m to 207.9 m depth in hole C4, and having a mass of 27.8 kg, yielded 1 diamond retained on the 150 micron screen, 2 diamonds on the 106 micron screen, and 1 diamond on the 75 micron screen. Sample A was a light grey coloured, fine-grained calcitic kimberlite.

Sample D, representing the interval from 169.4 m to 193.8 m in hole C5, and having a mass of 47.25 kg, yielded 1 diamond on the 212 micron screen. Sample E, representing the interval from 147.7 m to 169.4 m in the same hole, and with a mass of 43.1 kg, yielded 1 diamond on the 106 micron screen. Samples D and E were both fine- to medium-grained lappilli tuffs, with sample E having more of the medium-grained sized lapilli.

Hole C5 is about 47 m north of hole C4. Hole C4 is about 34 m west of hole C1, and hole C5 is about 29 m west of hole C2, both previously reported in the press release of June 15, 2004. A total sample weight of approximately 386 kg from holes C1 and C2 returned 2 diamonds on the 106 micron screen. Hole C3, drilled about 48 m east of hole C1, failed to intersect the Carolyn kimberlite.

Present ownership of the property is a 50/50 joint venture between Star Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SUV - News) and United Uranium Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UUC - News). The companies are currently assessing exploration results to date.

Laboratory Procedures

DIAMOND EXTRACTION BY CAUSTIC DISSOLUTION
Processing for Microdiamond Analysis

Introduction
Caustic dissolution of exploration samples efficiently produces a concentrate from which diamonds can readily be extracted during microscopic examination. The process uses diamond's property of high resistance to caustic soda (NaOH). Use of this method eliminates diamond size reduction and losses that often occur during extraction procedures that rely on crushing and attrition milling.

Procedure
Very few minerals survive the harsh attack by caustic soda; therefore weight reductions commonly exceed 99% of the initial sample weight. Samples are divided into equally sized charges of less than 8 kg. Smaller charge sizes are necessary if the sample contains a high proportion of carbonate minerals that are vigorously reactive with NaOH (evaluated by an acid test completed prior to charge preparation). If a high proportion of the sample is composed of greater than 8 cm fragments, simple breakage, crushing or attrition milling may be required, or the length of the dissolution process increased. Client consultation and approval is necessary before any size reduction of the sample is initiated.

After digestion in molten caustic soda, the sample is poured onto a large diameter 150 mesh screen. The + 150 mesh residue is liberated from the NaOH by washing the sample in a series of water and acid leach (HCl) baths. Once all of the NaOH is dissolved and removed, the concentrate is dried and screened on a 6 mesh screen to remove undigested material. The undigested material is examined microscopically by a mineralogist. If the + 6 mesh material is significant or consists of possible diamondiferous rock fragments, further digestion may be required. If the undigested material is of insignificant size or not considered as a possible source of diamonds, the - 6 mesh residue is further processed by a two (possibly three if the residue is large) stage magnetic separation procedure utilising a permanent magnet and a Frantz Barrier Magnetic Separator.

The magnetically characterised residue is then submitted for microscopic examination and diamond selection. (In addition to diamonds, the residue may contain partially undigested indicator minerals, colourless to opaque spinel, garnet, ilmenite, graphite, moissanite, zircon and kyanite.) Each of the magnetic fractions is examined at a magnification of 400x using a binocular microscope. Grains of questionable mineralogy are examined using a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive spectral (SEM-EDS) analyser. Although each magnetically characterised fraction is examined, particular emphasis is given to the diamagnetic portion.

The X, Y and Z dimensions of selected microdiamonds are measured in millimetres. Macrodiamonds are weighed individually while microdiamonds are weighed in groups of 20 or 30 and the milligram weight, in each case, converted to carats. The colour, clarity and morphology of each diamond are determined and all observations reported in a Certificate of Analysis.

Quality Control
At Lakefield routine quality control tests are utilised to evaluate the efficiency of the caustic dissolution processing technique by running blank samples spiked with "Congo Rounds". The chance of diamond or indicator mineral contamination is evaluated by running caustic soda blanks between client's samples and examining the residue for microdiamonds and indicator minerals. Recovery of the diamond spikes typically ranges from 97 to 100 %. 1998 statistics showed that, on average, only a single indicator mineral grain was carried over into the caustic soda blanks run between different client's samples.

Each residue is picked twice by separate diamond pickers. Questionable grains are examined by SEM-EDS for verification.

Every effort is made at each stage of sample handling during caustic dissolution, residue preparation and diamond picking to eliminate any possibilities of contamination. These steps include:

A rigorous sample tracking procedure.
Dedicated screens and equipment for each sample during sample processing.
Replacement of screens between each sample after pouring caustic soda.
Thorough washing and scrubbing of all sample containers.
Thorough cleaning of equipment used to prepare caustic residues between each processed sample.
Sandblasting of each kiln pot once a month to remove any scale build-up that might entrap microdiamonds or indicator minerals.


Kimberlite Indicator Minerals
For each microdiamond sample interval, a kimberlite indicator mineral (KIM) sample of 5 to 10 kg will be collected. This sample will be a representative composite section collected from the remaining split portion of the core approximately every 2m.

The KIM sample material is put into well labeled poly sample bags (double bagged) and sealed using locking ties. A tag displaying drill hole number and depth interval is placed into each sample bag.

Prior to shipping, the KIM samples are packed into five gallon pails and sealed. The samples are shipped to the Lab for processing and analysis. Upon each shipment, a fax is transmitted to the lab and to Diamonds North's head office listing the samples shipped; date shipped, means of transport, and expected arrival date. Upon receipt, the lab conducts a full inventory of the shipment and reports the information to Diamonds North for confirmation.

KIM Sample Processing and Analysis
Kimberlite indicator mineral data for a given kimberlite provides supporting information with the microdiamond data for the assessment of the economic potential of a kimberlite. The abundance of indicators and chemical signature of the mineral grains indicate the nature and composition of the mantle (how diamondiferous) and how well it was sampled by the kimberlite. Indicator minerals characterize each kimberlite and help to identify undiscovered kimberlites represented in nearby till.

Processing of the KIM Samples
Kimberlite samples requiring indicator mineral analysis will be sent to an experienced heavy mineral processing lab. The kimberlite material is concentrated for the extraction and analysis of indicator minerals. The method obtains a quantitative indication of the abundance of mantle-derived garnet, chromite, ilmenite and Cr-diopside as well as the mineral compositions of representative populations of these minerals.

The kimberlite is subjected to careful multistage crushing and screening to liberate indicator minerals using jaw and rotary crushing methods maximizing the yield of material in the 0.3 to 2.36 mm size range. The 0.3 to 2.36 mm size kimberlite fraction is concentrated using dense liquid processing (bromoform - SG ~ 2.9). The concentrate is meticulously sorted to extract kimberlite indicator minerals by methods that provide a quantitative indication of mineral abundance as well as a representative suite of grains for chemical analysis.

The extracted mineral grains are analyzed by electron microprobe to provide major and minor element compositions. Trace element data for a selection of peridotitic garnets is obtained using well-calibrated laser ablation ICP-MS methods. The numbers of grains of each indicator mineral for analysis varies and if sufficient grains are present in the sample the following number of grains are analyzed:

High-Cr garnet (³ 2 wt% Cr2O3) 100
Low-Cr garnet (<2 wt% Cr2O3) 50
Chromite 40
Ilmenite 40
Cr-diopside 40


Trace element analysis (by LA-ICP-MS) for selected grains ideally, all G10-type high-Cr garnets (up to about 30), as well as a compositionally representative population of G9-type high-Cr garnets may be conducted.

Petrography
In addition to the microdiamond and KIM samples, representative petrology samples (likely 1 or 2 samples per interval) corresponding to each microdiamond sample interval is collected and sent to the lab for thin section description and photomicroscopy. The thin section descriptions provide insight into the diamond carrying capacity of the kimberlite.


Representative Sample Suite
During the core logging procedure, the geologist retains a small representative suite of reference samples from each hole (collected from the split portion of the core). The core samples are labeled and retained in a core box that is shipped to Diamonds North's head office at the end of the program.

Core Storage
The remaining split core is sealed with a lid and screws and shipped to Yellowknife or Vancouver at the end of the program. Secure storage is arranged by Diamonds North. This core is retained for follow-up work and re-analysis if needed.

Results
Lab results are kept in strict confidence and are limited to key staff members. Lab results are sent to Diamonds North Resources either by fax, password protected email and/or by mail. Before lab results are transmitted by fax, the lab calls in advance to notify key personnel of the incoming data.

Information remains secure until properly disclosed to the public.

Diamonds North Announces Two More Kimberlites With High Diamond Counts on Amaruk
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 14, 2008) - Diamonds North Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:DDN) announces high diamond counts from Qavvik-3 and Qavvik-4 kimberlites located on the Company's 100% owned Amaruk property in the Pelly Bay Diamond District of Nunavut. A 72.8 kilogram reverse circulation/percussion (RC) drill-hole sample of Qavvik-3 yielded 183 diamonds and a 65.7 kilogram RC drill-hole sample of Qavvik-4 yielded 129 diamonds. These kimberlites are part of the Qavvik kimberlite cluster which is approximately 15 kilometres from Tuktu-1 that also returned high diamond counts (550 diamonds recovered in 81.75 kilogram sample, see News Release NR08-01, January 8, 2008).

The diamond count for Qavvik-3 is 2.5 diamonds per kilogram and 2 diamonds per kilogram for Qavvik-4. The Company views these results as very significant as it is generally considered positive to recover 1 diamond per kilogram.

The largest diamonds recovered from Qavvik-3 are: a clear, white fragment measuring 1.18mm x 0.6mm x 0.58mm; and, an irregular clear, white crystal measuring 1.2mm x 0.8mm x 0.44mm. The largest diamond recovered from Qavvik-4 is a clear, white fragment measuring 1.02mm x 0.68mm x 0.54mm.

what is positive about it? Those were dismal results hidden from
shareholders. Note: Rick Walker is out of United Carina and moving out of Star Uranium....

Re: Carolyn,,,Jul 17, 2004 ....The Smeaton property contains several other targets which the operator intends to drill-test when weather conditions allow.

Could be more results from that area coming eventually

Also from that '04 pr...

" The next immediate target to be drilled in which the Companies have an interest is a non-magnetic resistivity anomaly which was outlined in a survey conducted by Furgo,

" The target is located in the main Fort a la Corne trend of 70 plus kimberlites, and was undetected in the past because of its non-magnetivity.

Those comments led to tha "center of the kimberlite" drilling from Entg and are the core samples that Kevin refers to.

Want2b2rich & Dcal, to better explain...

Let me just say that the piece of news was potentially positive since I believe those diamonds were found back during the time when at least a portion of those claims belonged to CMKX.

I'm not sure if anything will ever come out of it, but I think it is a positive feeling to know that CMKX actually had diamonds from the samples that were pulled out of the ground from the Carolyn Pipe. We did speculate that he would not have named a bad kimberlite pipe after his wife. Again, I don't know what will ever come of this at this stage of the situation.

I differ Sterling. I positive feeling is a positive ROI on an investment. I associate nothing but negativity to this news...evidence of what can only be called "shenanigans", and illegal shenanigans at that. Canadian mining stocks, and any mining stock in general, is not to be touched by me anyway. Too much "snake oil" salesmanship going on.

I don't see how this is good news to CMKX stockholders, we no longer have a connection to the Carolyn Pipe. Our contractual agreements were defaulted on (by CMKX) back in 2005...so we are out of the picture.

IMO
My best to you all!

Isn't that what the Tyler Twosome is supposedly fighting for........getting our claims back? If true, this PR could be VERY significant in the future.

And yet again, more wording that could have 2 meanings. Was it "management" at that time....OR......"oversight" at that time? And there is a difference.....whether intentional or just poor wording and gramar.....who knows?
