The Company is in the process of finalizing a report for its 2021 Manicouagan exploration activities. Once the report is completed, the Company should be able to release additional results and additional comments. Assay results are considerably behind schedule and the report will necessarily have incomplete results for the drilling program.
The Company is continuing with the logging of historic core recovered from the 2006-2008 drilling programs. This work will allow for constructing of a three-dimensional model based on surface and drilling results and preparing for the next phase of drilling later this year.
Manicouagan Bulk Sampling
The Company’s exploration team collected approximately one metric ton ofhigh-grade Ni-Cu-Co-PGE massive sulphidematerial from surfaceat the Bob Showing last fall. The showing is located near the center of the Manicouagan project area. The geologist team obtained this material from blasting and channel cuts to provide a metallurgical bulk sample. This bulk sample will test the recovery of nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and iridium.
Four representative samples weighing from 1.51 to 5.82 kg totaling 13.65 kg from the Bob Showing were collected. The four samples were inserted into identified plastic bags and sealed. The sample bags were transported by helicopter first and then trucked to the facilities of
The material collected is a massive sulfide with +50% sulfide content. The balance of the bulk sample is in airtight containers and stored in a safe place with a controlled oxygen and water atmosphere in order to avoid self-combustion of the ore rich in nickeliferous pyrrhotite. This material is waiting to be sent to St-Georges’ contracted metallurgical facilities.
The results are very encouraging and in line with past work conducted on the property.
