Sudbury Platinum and Transition Metals (TSXV:XTM) announced results from the borehole geophysical program recently completed on the Lockerby East Property in Sudbury, Ontario.
As quoted in the press release:
Key Findings
- Identification of 9 very strong geophysical conductors (5,000-10,000 siemen) extending over a combined distance of 1,100 metres, extending down-dip from the known Lockerby East Deposit to a vertical depth of 2,000 metres (Figure 1).
- Modelled geophysical conductors occur in close proximity to the basal contact of the Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC), which is the primary host of massive Ni-Cu-PGM mineralization within this region of the Sudbury Basin.
- Positive correlation between elevated nickel-copper sulfides in historic drill core and geophysical conductors.
- Minimal drilling has been completed on the West Graham – Lockerby East Trend below 1,400 metres where the strongest geophysical responses were observed.
