Canada Nickel (TSXV: CNC) this morning published drill results from three separate properties it operates in the Timmins, Ontario region. Despite full assays being available for results from its Midlothian and Sothman properties, the firm instead elected to highlight preliminary data from the Mann Northwest property.
Drilling at Mann Northwest has seen four holes completed to date. Those holes are said to have “intersected multi-hundred metre intervals of mineralized peridotite and dunite,” confirming that the property consists of ultramafic mineralization. Three targets are said to currently be present at the property, with footprints ranging from 3.1 to 6.0 square kilometres. Drilling has confirmed 800 metres of strike, and a width of at least 500 metres at the Northwest zone, which remains open in all directions.
“Our regional exploration program successfully continues to deliver positive results, as we add Mann Northwest to the string of successes at Reid, Deloro, Sothman, Texmont and Midlothian,” commented Mark Selby, CEO.
