Mar 27, 2023 (Therese Pettigrew) - The Ember Zone was first identified by a moderate two line VTEM anomaly in 2021 (Palladium One news release October 28, 2021). Reconnaissance soil sampling returned weakly anomalous nickel values up to 42 ppm and copper values up to 30 ppm. The weak geophysical and soil anomalies of the Ember Zone resulted in it being drill tested during Q4 2022. DDH TK22-100 has semi-massive to net-textured sulphides including pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrrhotite hosted by pyroxenite, and returned 0.71% Ni, 0.95% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.03 g/t Pd, and 0.05 g/t Pt over 5.3 m including 2.01% Ni, 2.85% Cu, 0.04% Co, 0.11 g/t Pd, 0.14 g/t Pt, and 0.01 g/t Au over 1.5 m. DDH TK22-104 returned 1.07% Ni, 0.28% Cu 0.02% Co, 0.03 g/t Pd, and 0.04 g/t Pt over 6.9 m including 2.02% Ni, 0.36% Cu, 0.04% Co, 0.05 g/t Pd, and 0.06 g/t Pt over 1.9 m. The zone appears to form a southwest plunging body toward the interpreted chonolith / feeder dyke structure located to the south (Palladium One news release March 27, 2023).
