May 05, 2010 (A Wilson) - A grab sample collected by Falconbridge in 1988 returned 0.062% Ni, 0.049% Cu, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.06 g/t Pt and 0.09 g/t Pd. The best mineralization on the property is found within the offset dykes, most of which contain trace to 3% sulphides, mainly in blebs. The sulphide blebs, may be comprised of either pyrite minor chalcopyrite or pyrrhotite minor chalcopyrite. Fourteen samples of diorite and quartz diorite offset dyke rocks and seven samples of gabbroic dyke rocks were collected for analysis of Ni, Cu, Co, S, Ag, Au, Pt and Pd.
