Junior Gossan Resources (GSS-V) is drilling for platinum group metals in the Bird River intrusion in southeastern Manitoba. The program will entail 2,000 metres in four holes.
The Bird River property, which is divided into the up-faulted Peterson, Chrome and Page blocks, covers 10 km of the sill. The intrusion is locally 500 to 600 metres thick, consisting of a lower ultramafic series, an overlying transition series and an upper mafic series.
Last year, prospectors on a property immediately west of the Peterson block recovered 4.3 grams platinum and platinum per tonne from 45 cm of chip sampling. To the east of the Page block, re-assying of an old drill hole returned 1.4% copper, 1.4% nickel and 1.6 grams platinum-palladium, including 20 cm of 3.6% nickel and 7.2 grams platinum-palladium. And 200 metres north of a chromite layer in the central portion of the Chrome block, soils run up to 2.5 grams platinum-palladium.
The current campaign is focusing on the Peterson block. Four other targets elsewhere on the property will be tested during the winter.
