Diamonds North Resources Limited announced that Minerals and Metals Group has informed the company that the 2011 airborne electro magnetic survey targeting nickel has been initiated on parts of the Amaruk Tunerq property in Nunavut. The survey will focus on areas with known mafic ultramafic bodies and nickel copper geochemical anomalies in till.

An approximate 6,000 line kilometer Geotem Survey operated by Fugro will be flown over several high priority areas including the Tunerq prospect. At Tunerq, a drill hole intersected 2.49% nickel over 9 metres within a 35 meter wide zone assaying 1% nickel.

Mr Mark Kolebaba president & CEO of Diamonds North said that "The property is host to more than 50 mafic ultramafic bodies and large areas with anomalous nickel and copper in till samples. The objective of the survey is to prioritize these areas and identify conductors that could represent significant targets."

This survey is part of the 2011 budget announced February 3rd 2011 and is solely funded by MMG. A formal joint venture agreement has been finalized which was based upon the terms defined in a letter agreement signed by Diamonds North and MMG in March 2010. MMG may earn a 75% interest in nickel and other base metals on the Amaruk property, by completing a pre feasibility study on any base metal deposit that might be identified.

Mr Bruce Kienlen and Mr Graham Gill will review the base metal data from this project for Diamonds North.
