The program is viewed as a success by the company, with the program overall intended to improve the geological model, contribute to resource expansion, and confirm grade continuity. Further drilling this year will be focused on deeper footwall exploration, and geophysical platform drillholes.

While exploration remains ongoing, Magna has indicated that for the 2024 season, it has approved a budget consisting of 25,000 metres of drilling, which is to be split between Crean Hill and Shakespeare. The planned program is fully funded, with the company using cash from its balance sheet.
“Given the current market conditions, we are fortunate to be completely funded for a robust exploration budget for 2024. I believe that our properties host some of the best exploration potential of any nickel junior in Canada and we have a team with the experience and track record to make new discoveries,” commented CEO Jason Jessup.
