Oct 25, 2018 (A Wilson) - Assays from diamond drilling returned values up to 0.38%Cu and 0.453% Ni over 5 ft. in actinolite-tremolite schist. Assays up to 0.404% Cu and 0.363% Ni over 3 feet were returned from altered andesite adjacent to anorthositic gabbro. A 7 ft section of drill core from LV2-27-75 returned an average of 0.328% Cu and 0.24% Ni in meta-andesite, a 37 feet intersection at depth returned 0.56% Cu and 0.509% Ni. Drill hole LV-26-75 returned 0.253% Cu and 0.482% Ni over 13 feet of meta-andesite. Grab samples from diamond drill core returned; nickel:0.36-2.84%, copper: 0.0455-0.505%, cobalt: 0.016%-1.10%, platinum trace-255ppb, palladium:44-212ppb (Moneta Porcupine Annual Report).
