MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA--(Marketwire - March 22, 2012) - DIOS EXPLORATION (TSX VENTURE:DOS) reports the discovery of the Falardeau Carbonatite Complex, Saguenay, Quebec by diamond drilling of the Falardeau geophysical anomaly.
DIOS EXPLORATION generated niobium and rare earths exploration targets surrounding the Niobec Niobium mine, Saguenay, QC, using its expertise in diamond exploration. Almost all diamond mines are hosted within kimberlites, deep rooted volcanoes that came up from the mantle of the earth in clusters. Carbonatites are also deep rooted, though not as deep as kimberlites, and may use the same ways or structures to come up. The exploration team of DIOS thought the Saint-Honore carbonatite host to the Niobec mine might not be a stand alone event in the area. DIOS discovered the Shipshaw carbonatite complex two years ago and now reports the discovery of the Falardeau carbonatite, which seems a lot more altered, a good sign for niobium and rare earth potential.
