For the past three years, the region has been the focus of intense exploration for diamonds, since the acquisition by Diamondex, in 2003, of their Lena West ground covering more than 5 million acres.

Patrician's consultants believe that these features could be caused by kimberlites since De Beers/Pure Gold reported finding a population of peridotitic and eclogitic garnets with minor kelyphitic textures in stream sediments and tills on ground that is located directly down-ice of the Property.

The Sahtu First Nation has informed Mackenzie Delta gas owners that it wants out of the tentative agreement, joining the Deh Cho, which has pulled out of the Aboriginal Pipeline Group, the body negotiating with the Delta owners on behalf of Northwest Territories Natives.
