North Arrow Minerals mobilized at the Naujaat Diamond Project site over the summer to collect a 2,000-tonne bulk sample.
The analysis will help determine whether fancy yellow to orange yellow diamonds present at the site are worth mining.
The laydown site for the samples is less than 10 kilometres from the community of Naujaat. From there, the ore samples will be loaded to be sealifted south for analysis.
