Dec 14, 2010 (A Wilson) - Mineralization occurs in all rock types as disseminated to net-textured sulphides in more massive-type to breccia-sulphides where breccia associated with felsic dykelets is observed in the northern part of the intrusion. Drill hole NOT-08-2G01 returned assays up to 0.89%Ni, 0.34% Cu and 0.7 g/t Pd over 3 m; a 6 m section of core retuned 0.89% Ni, 0.35%Cu and 1.36 g/t Pd. Drill hole NOT-08-2G02 returned assays up to 1.41%Ni, 0.29% Cu, 0.16 g/t Pt, 0.77 g/t Pd, 0.55 g/t Au and 1.54 g/t Ag over 9.8 m
May 21, 2013 (Shannon Zurevinski) - Drillholes NOT-12-AT12-001, NOT-12-AT12-002, and NOT-12-AT12-003 intersected low grade Ni sulphide mineralization over intervals ranging from 10 to 60 m downhole averaging 0.2% ti 0.7% Ni.
