According to Mining News Pro - Dubbed the “Wilson” kimberlite, this is the first new kimberlite found at Gahcho Kue in 20 years.

The find was made at surface under recent lake sediments. Drilling intersected 119 metres of tuffisitic and hypabyssal kimberlite in an area that is well within the open pit plan for the Tuzo  kimberlite. A 115.2-kg sample yielded microdiamonds including a 0.28-carat stone.

Mountain Province said that additional core sampling from Wilson is underway for microdiamond and geological assessment. Further drilling to delineate the northern extent of the new kimberlite is also in the planning stage, with the interpretation of all new results expected later in 2019.
