Historic Work & Drill Highlights

Both the Hollinger and Cominco zones have seen multiple campaigns of drilling since the 1970s, with strong nickel-copper sulfide intercepts including:

  • 45.0 metres of 0.70% nickel and 0.75% copper (Hole AMDG07-3)
  • 22.8 metres of 0.53% nickel and 0.88% copper, including 2.7 metres of 1.0% nickel and 1.92% copper (Hole LL08-05)
  • 35.5 metres of 0.4% nickel and 0.55% copper (AMDG07-1)

In addition to base metals, several gold-rich intervals have been recorded:

  • 6.37 grams per tonne gold over 8.55 metres in drill core at a drill core depth of 383.25 metres (Hole LL08-13)
  • 6.17 grams per tonne gold over 3.0 metres in drill core at a drill core depth of 403.0 metres
  • 10.39 grams per tonne gold over 3.1 metres from 410.3 metres to 413.4 metres

Surface grab samples returned assays of 8.98 grams per tonne gold and 11.48 grams per tonne gold.

We estimate that approximately C$10,000,000 has been spent on drilling historically. This encouraging mineralization underscores the polymetallic nature of the system and supports the potential for both bulk-tonnage and high-grade targets.
