A stepout hole drilled to test a projected extension of the Kelly Lake sulphide deposit has returned a wide swath of similar-type mineralization for Tom Exploration (TUM-V).
Kelly Lake is part of the company’s Temiscamingue property, which covers 40 sq. km of the Sudbury-Belleterre sulphide belt.
In 1959, Regcourt Mines pegged the deposit with a resource of 2.2 million tonnes grading 1.4% combined copper and nickel. Tom has been drilling what it describes as an extension of the deposit.
Hole K-120 cut 12 metres (starting 20.5 metres down-hole) of 1.02% nickel, 0.34% copper, 0.07% cobalt, plus 2.53 grams silver per tonne, 0.48 gram platinum and 0.47 gram palladium. The hole was collared 30 metres east of hole 118, which was itself a 30-metre stepout, in the same direction, of holes 116 and 117. All three returned similarly encouraging results.
