Drill core from W24-01 0.48%Ni over 0.9m in semi massive to massive sulphides<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAssisting future drill programmes<\/h3>\n
Further, in several holes, Mink fortuitously clipped a sulphide zone in the upper portion of the holes which is interpreted to be the extension of the \u2018B\u2019 Zone. This valuable information provided some detail of how the A&B zones sit relative to one another which will assist in future drill programmes.<\/p>\n
\u2018B\u2019 Zone mineralisation is now known to extend approximately 75 metres beyond the historical trenches, for a total interpreted strike length of 200 metres. The \u2018B\u2019 Zone intercepts support the continuity of mineralisation along strike in general, as interpreted by geophysical surveys.<\/p>\n
The geophysical signature for both the \u2018A\u2019 and \u2018B\u2019 Zones have a projected strike length of approximately 700 metres. Minimal drilling has been conducted on the \u2018B\u2019 Zone.<\/p>\n
Two historical bulk samples on the \u2018B\u2019 Zone returned 0.21% Cu, 0.96% Ni, 0.11% Co and 0.10% Zinc (Zn), and a second bulk sample returned 2.83% Cu, 0.58% Ni, 0.10 Co and 0.13 Zn.

Surface sampling on the \u2018A\u2019 Zone and the recent drill programme have shown that the best values to date are associated with massive to semi-massive sulphides. <\/em><\/p>\nThe current interpretation is that the initial \u2018A\u2019 Zone massive sulphide may have formed as a typical sulphide lens and then been broken apart by a later pulse of gabbro. This is based on a number of features seen in the drill core, the extent of massive and semi-massive sulphides, and Ni Cu Co values seen in the \u2018A\u2019 Zone trenches.<\/p>\n
Further drilling is required to ascertain the extent of potential massive sulphide zones down the plunge and along the strike, <\/em>as the \u2018A\u2019 Zone has only been tested by very shallow drilling (65 metres vertical) over a short strike length. The \u2018A\u2019 Zone geophysics suggests a strike length of approximately 700 metres.<\/p>\n
