Jul 27, 2016 (A Wilson) - Mineralization intersected in drilling ranged from 0.21% Ni and 0.44% Cu in disseminated material; to 3.82% Ni and 2.38% Cu in massive material. DDH No 5 completed by Trio, intersected the zone at 600 feet vertically and a 21 foot section assayed 0.84% Ni and 0.36% Cu. Pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite are disseminated throughout the margin of a peridotite body.
