Iqaluit (Aug 27/01) - Tahera Corporation reported new diamond results from its Anuri kimberlite which was discovered last July.

The find is near the head of a prominent kimberlite indicator mineral train on the Rockinghorse property in Nunavut. The Rockinghorse property is a joint venture between Tahera and Kennecott Canada Exploration Inc. It is 120 kilometres northwest of Tahera's Jericho diamond project.

The 489 kilograms of kimberlite processed at the Kennecott diamond lab returned 730 diamonds. Forty-seven of those were greater than .5 millimetres.

One three-quarter carat diamond was recovered from the latest samples.

Tahera (TSE: TAH) also has interests in joint venture exploration land holdings in Nunavut and the Northwest Teritories.
