Approximately 171 line-kilometres (kms) of magnetic readings were taken across two grids encompassing the Bear and a portion of the Skulow zones, two large 2 x 3 km nickel targets.
As at Inomin's Beaver property, where the Company reported on
The ground magnetics surveys completed at Lynx and Beaver were effective at both sharpening the confines of strong magnetic relief, interpreted as the near surface expression of nickel-magnesium mineralization hosted by magnetic serpentinite bodies, as well as indications of the orientation of the mineralization.
The strong magnetic bodies delineated by the 2022 survey form both linear as well as broad circular anomalous areas. The linear features are likely indicative of thrust planes created during the subduction of the lower crust forming wedges near the mantle. Broad circular features, typically 3 - 6 km2, likely signify hot spots or mud volcanoes formed by the crust's proximity to the mantle.
Magnetic Surveys and Stream Sediment Data Define Large Mineral Targets
Air and ground magnetics surveys at the Beaver property, located 11 km north of Lynx, have proven very effective at delineating magnetite-serpentinite rocks hosting magnesium-nickel mineralization, and other critical minerals including cobalt and chromium. At Beaver, magnetic surveys have identified five magnetite-serpentinite zones with a cumulative strike length of approximately 10 kilometres.
The Lynx area is geologically similar to Beaver with even larger prospective targets areas. Regional stream sediment sampling (RGS) data collected by the Province of
Given the positive drill results related to areas of significant magnetite-rich serpentinite rocks at the Beaver property, Lynx displays potential to host multiple large zones of nickel and other critical minerals.
Inomin's 100% owned Beaver-Lynx magnesium-nickel project, approximately 20,000 hectares in size, is located 15 - 25 kilometres east and southeast of
