MINK VENTURES CORPORATION Mink Ventures Corporation announced it has received all assay results for its recently completed six hole, 507-meter drill program at its Warren Nickel Copper Cobalt Project, located approximately 35 km west of Timmins, Ontario. The drilling confirmed the geophysical data and intersected broad zones of sulphide mineralization in all six holes with anomalous nickel, copper and cobalt values associated with disseminated and net textured sulphides. Drill hole W-24-01 was drilled to a depth of 60 meters, and intersected 0.48% Nickel (Ni), 0.12% Copper (Cu), and 0.07% Cobalt (Co) over 0.9 meters in semi massive sulphides typical of those found in the "A" Zone surface trenches.
Surface sampling on the "A" Zone and the recent drill program has shown that the best values to date are associated with massive to semi massive sulphides. The current interpretation is that the initial "A" Zone massive sulphide may have formed as a typical sulphide lense, then been broken apart by a later pulse of gabbro. The "A" Zone geophysics suggests a strike length of approximately 700 meters.
The Warren project contains numerous historical, trenched surface zones, with significant Cu and Ni values which are associated with coincident geophysical responses including magnetics, electromagnetic (EM) and induced polarization (IP) anomalies over long strike lengths. Mink plans to evaluate a number of these high priority zones in order to outline a followup drill program. The initial prospecting work will be conducted in the early spring/summer in order to prioritize targets for future drill testing in 2024.
The "A" Zone was the focus of Mink's initial drill program. It was selected as a high priority target for drill testing as a result of geological data review, a field examination, and a confirmation sampling program conducted by company geologists during the summer of 2023. Two historical bulk samples on the "B" Zone returned 0.21% Cu, 0.96% Ni, 0.11% Co and 0.10% Zinc (Zn), and a second bulk sample returned 2.83% Cu, 0.58% Ni, 0.10 Co and 0.13 Zn.
