Alaska Energy Metals (TSXV: AEMC) has released assay results from two of four drill holes conducted under a program focused on expanding the resource at the Eureka zone, part of the Nikolai project in Alaska.
Assay results are said to have confirmed the continuation of the higher-grade core zone by 600 metres to the southeast, with coarse-grained magmatic sulphides intersected for the first time at Eureka. Highlights from the results include:
- EZ-24-009: 0.30% nickel equivalent (0.21% nickel, 0.08% copper, 0.017% cobalt, 0.089 palladium, 0.04 ppm platinum and 0.017 ppm gold) over 308.2 metres
- Including 0.39% nickel equivalent (0.25% nickel, 0.14% copper, 0.019% cobalt, 0.156 ppm palladium, 0.061 ppm platinum and 0.030 ppm gold) over 67.3 metres
- EZ-24-010: 0.31% nickel equivalent (0.22% nickel, 0.07% copper, 0.017% cobalt, 0.095 ppm palladium, 0.04 ppm platinum and 0.014 ppm gold) over 320.8 metres
- Including 0.39% nickel equivalent (0.25% nickel, 0.14% copper, 0.020% cobalt, 0.154 ppm palladium, 0.061 ppm platinum and 0.023 ppm gold) over 72.5 metres
“These two drill holes further increase the drilled strike extent of the Eureka Zone by 600 meters and confirms the higher-grade core zone extends to the southeast outside of the current resource. Drilling results continue to show the continuity and homogeneity of the Eureka Zone. With results from the remaining two drill holes anticipated soon, we can begin calculating an updated Mineral Resource Estimate,” commented Gabe Graf, Chief Geologist for Alaska Energy Metals.
With these results in hand, the strike length of Eureka has been extended to a total length of 2.0 kilometres.
