Mineralization Comments

Mar 16, 2023 (E Chaloux) - Ni-Cu mineralization is hosted by a gabbro-anorthosite body. The mineralization defines a pipe-like body 30m wide, 100m long, and about 450m deep, that is intimately associated with the breccia zones. Sulphides vary from weakly disseminated to net-textured (up to 50%), to locally massive in texture. Sulphides consist of pyrrhotite, pyrite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite. At a cut-off grade of 0.8% combined Ni-Cu, the mineralization forms a resource of approx. 3,000,000 tonnes. A definitive grade has not been calculated due to high variability of grades within the pipe.
