Jul 13, 2013 (A Wilson) - Ring of Fire Resources DDH KML-12-01 returned 0.28% Ni over 437.6 m, including 0.30% Ni over 24 m, 0.31% Ni over 1.01 m, and 0.33% Ni over 30.0 m. DDH-12-2 (drilled from the same collar) returned 0.30% Ni over 502.6 m including 0.32% Ni over 322 m and 0.33% Ni over 39 m. DDH- KML-12-03 returned values of 0.20% Ni over 250.4 m, including 0.27% Ni over 122.4 m, and DDH KML-12-04 returned 0.25% Ni over 114.2 m, including 0.29% Ni over 11.2 m. Assays from drill holes completed on the eastern part of the intrusion include; 0.23% Ni over 101 m in KML 12-05; 0.18% Ni over 466.2 m in KML 12-07 and 0.20% Ni over 200.0 m in KML 12-11 including 0.23% Ni over 97 m. The head grade from the metallurgical testing were 0.28% Ni from the 400 kg composite sample. 6% of the nickel was recoverable awaruite, 6% recoverable millerite and pentlandite and 1% magnetite. The remainder of the nickel is locked up in the olivine/serpentinite lattice structure.
Mar 10, 2011 (P Bousquet) - Hole 27098 intersected a peridotite (komatiite?) which gave back values of up to 0.26% Ni (T-1169).
