Canadian junior Star Diamond and Rio Tinto Exploration Canada (RTEC) are set to meet on March 4 to review data collected from last two field seasons and to approve and interim expenditures budget for their Fort a la Corne (FalCon) joint venture (JV) project.

The JV partners, which at the end of last year made peace after a protracted period of disagreement over the FalCon venture, will use the meeting to approve work for the period starting April 1, 2022 to May 31, 2022. This time will be used as a data review and consultation period before planning further work programmes and setting budgets.

RTEC has indicated that no site exploration work is planned to take place before the end of May.
