Exploration work at the Delta-Kenty property, about 50 km west of the Raglan nickel mine in the Ungava Peninsula of Quebec, has defined several coincident conductive and magnetic bodies in previously untested areas.
The first conductor is indicated by a wide, relatively weak anomaly extending over a strike length of 600 metres where a body of ultramafic rocks outcrops. The second anomaly, southeast of the first, is stronger but shorter, extending over a 300-metre strike length.
Field crews sampled the outcrop over the conductors, and results of chemical analyses on the rock samples are pending.
The airborne survey also responded to the known mineralization at Delta-Kenty, in three zones: D-8, D-8 South and D-9. Previous work at those zones outlined a preliminary resource with 817,000 tonnes grading 3.05% nickel and 1.26% copper, together with a combined platinum and palladium grade of 2.6 grams per tonne. That resource is based on 1970s and 1980s drilling that predates present-day resource definition standards.
A ground electromagnetic survey is planned for next year.
