Dec 16, 2010 (P Bousquet) - Hole 65-7 (az. 35, dip -60) intersected serpentinized peridotites (komatiites?) with disseminated sulphides (pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite) which brought back assays of 0.10% Ni (from 310.0ft to 315.0ft), 0.20%Ni (from 315.0ft to 320.0ft), 0.15%Ni (from 320.0ft to 325.0ft), 0.22%Ni (from 335.0ft to 340.0ft), 0.20%Ni (from 340.0ft to 345.0ft), 0.16%Ni (from 345.0ft to 350.0ft), 0.10%Ni (from 350.0ft to 355.0ft). It also intersected graphitic schist which brought back assays of 0.10%Ni (from 387.8ft to 392.8ft) and 0.15%Ni (from 395.0 to 396.6ft). Hole 65-8 (az. 215, dip 55) intersected graphitic schists with serpentinized peridotite (komatiitic?) which brought back an assay of 0.12% Ni (from 305.0ft to 310.0ft). It also intersected a serpentinized peridotite (komatiitic?) which brought back assays of 0.09% Ni (from 315.0ft to 322.0ft), 0.08%Ni (from 322.0ft to 327.0ft), 0.14%Ni (from 400.0ft to 405.0ft).
