The Tasks, situated 35 km north of Thompson, Manitoba, consist of 4 Mineral Exploration Licenses (“MEL”), the Robust, Robust Extension, Moak North and Wilson MELs, and canopy an space of 30,283 hectares. The Tasks are on the north finish of the TNB and canopy rock lithologies just like host rocks of different main nickel deposits within the TNB. The Firm is planning a $2 million exploration program over two non-contingent phases of exploration, an preliminary part of $500,000 to refine drill targets by detailed floor geophysics, with a second part 3,500 metres of 10 – 12 diamond drill holes at an estimated value of $1,500,000.
Exploration on the Tasks was initiated within the late Fifties, and up to now, 139 diamond drill holes have been accomplished on the properties, with 126 holes drilled previous to 1980, and an extra 13 holes drilled within the early 2000s. Historic drillholes predominantly focused EM anomalies related to magnetic anomalies, and several other holes efficiently intersected the beneficial Opswagan Group and several other intersected rocks of the Pipe Formation. Sulphides are plentiful in lots of holes, nevertheless, nickel bearing intersections had been restricted to 1 – 3 metre widths of 0.1 – 0.2% nickel. The geophysics accomplished in 1998 (EM and magnetics) and 2007 (VTEM) on the Robust MEL and subsequent interpretation has resulted within the identification of 14 excessive precedence targets which have had solely restricted drill testing. Preliminary floor geophysics is required on these targets to element and prioritize the drill websites. It’s estimated that floor geophysics will set up 10 – 12 targets for drilling.
