Bitterroot Resources Ltd. and Below Exploration Inc. announce the completion of the summer 2021 drill program on the LM nickel-copper-bearing intrusion in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In keeping with the terms of an agreement with the surface owner, drilling has been temporarily paused for hunting season. Management plans to resume drilling in early 2022. The objective of LM 21-21, the final hole of the summer drilling campaign, was to test the SE quadrant of the LM intrusion. It was drilled to a depth of 286.05 metres, deviated more than planned and exited the intrusion several metres above the mineralized elevation seen in nearby holes. Additional drilling is required to expand and follow up previously intersected intervals of high-grade nickel-copper-bearing massive sulphide. For example, hole LM 20-07 intersected a 0.75 metre-interval grading 5.16% nickel and 1.18% copper and hole LM 21-14 intersected a 1.07 metre-interval grading 4.09% nickel and 0.78% copper. The location of the feeder to theses high grade intervals is being pursued. Drilling of 21 holes at the LM Property since June 2020 has yielded the following: Five holes hit intervals of disseminated and massive sulphide mineralization; Eleven holes exited the intrusion above the mineralized interval Two holes were lost in a fault zone; and Three holes did not intersect the intrusion. Since June 2021, Bitterroot and Below have consumed approximately 70% of their planned USD1,000,000 budget and both companies retain sufficient working capital to fund the next phase of winter drilling in January-March 2022.
