Mineralization Comments

Jul 11, 2022 (Therese Pettigrew) - The Thumb Zone is interpreted as the northern extension of the Main Zone, located about 825 m west-northwest of the East Zone and about 1 km north of the west end of the Main Zone, with nickel sulphide mineralization hosted by olivine-rich rocks, similar to that found at the other zones. DDH CR19-32 returned 0.25% Ni, 0.013% Co, 0.003 g/t Pd, and 0.003 g/t Pt over 243 m from 390 m and 0.02% Ni, 0.008% Co, 0.9 g/t Pd, and 0.8 g/t Pt over 6 m from 280.5 m (Staples et al., 2021).
