Peregrine Diamonds Ltd. said its 2015 field work is focused on continued expansion of the diamond resource at its Chidliak project, located 120 kilometers northeast of Iqaluit, capital of Nunavut.

A recently completed independent review by Mineral Services Canada Inc., Peregrine's external qualified person, has highlighted an approximate one-million-metric-ton resource expansion opportunity for the CH-6 kimberlite.

Both the resource expansion at CH-6 and the scale of a pending maiden resource declaration at CH-7 are contingent on the implementation of limited key additional evaluation work and the results from a CH-7 bulk sample.

To gather the needed data, Peregrine has budgeted C$3.75 million for a program that includes resampling existing core; 1,200 meters of new drilling; processing of a 558.5-metric-ton bulk sample from CH-7; calculate an updated resource for the CH-6 kimberlite; publish a maiden resource for the CH-7 kimberlite.
