Orvana currently holds a land position of 37 claims totalling 1,965 hectares near Laniel in the Temiscamingue area of Quebec. Claims were originally acquired in the vicinity of Laniel because of known Nickel-Copper stream-sediment anomalies. The claims were believed to have potential for diamonds and platinum/palladium mineralization. Geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys on a core group of claims were completed between 2002 and 2004. A limited number of bulk alluvial samples were also collected on a reconnaissance basis from the claims and kimberlite indicators were visually identified in five of the six samples, two of which contained pyrope garnets. The highest-priority target is the central soil gas – magnetic anomaly, wholly contained in the Lake Temiskaming structural corridor. This corridor is known to host a series of diamondiferous kimberlite pipes.
