Mink Ventures Corporation announced that it has received an $80,000 Ontario Junior Exploration Grant (OJEP) towards exploration at its Warren nickel copper cobalt project located 35 km west of Timmins, Ontario. The drill program is expected to begin in early January 2024. Mink will begin drilling on the A Zone which has a surface strike length of approximately 120 meters exposed in a series of surface trenches.

Drilling will focus on testing the A zone down plunge and below the estimated 60-meter vertical evaluation by previous operators. Confirmation work by Company geologists on the A Zone, as well as other target zones, returned significant base metal numbers. Excellent copper values were noted in the A Zone trenches which ranged from 1.075% to 2.08% Cu.

Nickel values from the A zone ranged from 0.313% to 0.348% Ni. Cobalt values ranged from 0.0389% to 0.0498% Co. Some interesting silver values, which ranged from 10.3 ppm to 23.8 ppm silver, were associated with some of the better copper values on the A Zone.

There are two other zones (B & C) along with a number of untested base metal occurrences and untested geophysical anomalies which will be tested in a phase 2 program. Mink's project has excellent access and infrastructure including an all-weather road to the property, a series of logging roads throughout, and proximity to the Timmins Mining Camp, enabling cost-effective mobilization and exploration.
