Garibaldi Gears Up for Drilling at Nickel Mountain

Garibaldi Resources (TSXV:GGI) has released an exploration update, with additional crews filling an expanded 40-person camp near the Eskay Creek mine in northwest British Columbia to launch what the company called the most extensive drill campaign in its history at the nickel-copper-rich Nickel Mountain massive sulfide discovery.

As highlighted in the press release:

• In support of drilling, which will commence in approximately 7 days (From May 18), state-of-the-art geophysics utilizing HeliSam hybrid ground-air technology is now being carried out over a broad area in all directions surrounding the high-grade discovery zone;
• This cutting edge survey by Discovery Geophysics International (HeliSam) will provide valuable new information in real time for precise drill hole locations within the HC-1 conductor target area interpreted by renowned Sudbury geophysicist Alan King as drilling steps out initially to the south of EL-17-14
• Preliminary results from the VTEM survey completed during Q1 have extended the Nickel Mountain trend of conductors by 3.5 km to the northeast while also revealing multiple new gold-VMS target areas on the Palm Springs Property, part of Garibaldi’s 200 sq. km Eskay Camp land package.

As quoted in the press release, president and chief executive officer of Garibaldi Resources, Steve Regoci said:

“Given ‘proof of concept’ achieved with geophysics at Nickel Mountain last year, which gave us this game-changing high-grade nickel sulfide discovery in the Eskay Camp, we have ‘doubled down’ on the best technology to efficiently target potential new massive sulphide zones.”
