Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Strike Diamond Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SRK)("Strike Diamond" or “the Corporation”) is pleased to report that it has been successfully awarded three new exploration licenses by the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador covering the Garland I, Garland II and Garland III Projects.

“Strike Diamond is pleased to acquire an early-mover position in the Garland exploration camp. In addition to the significant market attention and interest being paid to the area, it is worth noting that Diamond Fields Resources Ltd., who ultimately discovered and sold what is now the Voisey’s Bay mine, also prospected within the broader region for kimberlite potential. Near-term, we see ongoing and increasing exploration within the Garland area for base metal exploration and the optionality that provides Strike Diamond’s shareholders,” noted Ryan Kalt, Chairman and CEO of Strike Diamond.

Garland I, II & III Project

The Garland I and II projects are contiguous with the Garland nickel-cobalt-PGM project being explored by Equitas Resources Corp (“Equitas”). These new projects staked by Strike Diamond Corp. are located less than 40km SE of the Voisey’s Bay mine.
