The summer field program has been extended to survey the newly staked ground and geological mapping,

bedrock and till sampling are underway. The new claims cover extensions to greenstone belts containing

banded iron formations that have been mapped by field crews, and are known from historical work to

About the Kahuna Project

Dunnedin’s primary asset is the Kahuna project, where it is completing final steps to earn a 100 percent

interest. Kahuna is an advanced stage high grade diamond project located near Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.

Dunnedin is now recovering diamonds and indicator minerals from a series of kimberli te and till samples

collected from two seasons of field work. An Inferred Resource released by Dunnedin showed over 4

million carats of macrodiamonds (+0.85 mm) at a grade of 1.01 carats per tonne had been defined along the

partial strike length of the Kahuna and Notch kimberlite dikes through shallow drilling, and remains open

to extension. The largest diamond recovered was a 5.43 carat stone from the Kahuna dike which was a

piece of a larger diamond that had been broken during the sample preparation process and was reconstructed

as having an original size of 13.42 carats. Recent results include a 2.03 tonne sample of the PST kimberlite

dike which returned 223 macrodiamonds totalling 8.17 carats (+0.85 mm) and a 2.36 tonne sample of the

Notch kimberlite which returned 89 macrodiamonds totalling 2.38 carats (+0.85 mm).

The Kahuna project is located adjacent to the development -stage Meliadine gold project of Agnico Eagle

Mines Ltd. and has generated gold results in tills, bedrock and drill core across a wide area. Gold is

associated with several metas ediment belts that cross the project. The adjacent Meliadine project is also

hosted by metasediments and has approximately 14.5 million tonnes of Proven and Probable Reserves

grading 7.32 g/t gold, containing 3.4 million ounces of gold as of December 31, 2015. There is an

additional Indicated Resource of 20.7 million tonnes grading 4.95 g/t gold containing 3.3 million ounces of

gold, and an additional Inferred Resource of 14.7 million tonnes grading 7.51 g/t gold containing 3.5 million

ounces of gold (source: www.agnicoeagle.com).
