NICKEL ISLAND PROPERTY

The property is host to known nickel-copper mineralization (Nickel Island Occurrence) last explored by Inco Ltd. during the years 1957 to 1958 and has remained dormant for well over 50 years since that time. Historic drilling returned drill intercepts of 4.33% nickel over 4.50 metres and 1.18% nickel over 21.34 metres. Some later re-assaying of selected drill core completed by Inco, suggests the potential for significant platinum-group-elements.

The geological evidence gleaned from historic data is suggestive of the presence of ‘Kambalda-type’ mineralization on the property, featuring disseminated, stringer and net-textured nickel-copper sulphides occurring within spinifex-textured ultramafic flows and intrusions. Kambalda-type deposits are characterized by high nickel grades and tend to occur in clusters within the base of ultramafic flows and intrusions in channel-like deposits.
