(OTC BB:DMDD) a U.S. company focusing on diamonds, precious and base metal exploration in the province of Quebec, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Platinum Discoveries Corp, has commenced evaluation of its 100% owned Caribou project in the Thetford Mines area of Southern Quebec.
