Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The best assay returned 0.13% Ni over 2 ft in serpentinized peridotite. Drill hole L75-1 drilled by Pamour in 1975 intersected a 6 ft section of peridotite that ran 0.17% Ni. The best Ni assay from the Starfire/Kenrich-Eskay drilling returned 0.090% Ni over 3.1 m including 0.147% Ni over 1.2 m. Elevalted Zn values were returned from drill hole L2-03-02; 0.222% Zn over 1.52 m.
