International Montoro Resources (TSXV:IMT) reported that the zone of anomalous Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization has been extended an additional 4 metres, under an expanded sampling program undertaken on Hole #1 (PDH-1) at the Pecors Anomaly in Serpent River – Elliot Lake, Northern Ontario.

As quoted in the press release:
“Also, a thin section analysis was carried out by the Ontario Geological Survey, Sudbury Mining Division office. In a sample selected for age dating, small amounts of cobaltite were observed under the scanning electron microscope and it was recommended that we undertake additional assaying for cobalt.” “This work was completed and the cobalt values were only slightly anomalous indicating that no significant concentrations of cobaltite were associated with the Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization.” Further testing by the OGS is being carried out.
Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience of Sudbury, Ontario was contracted to complete a petrographic analysis on PDH-1 to better understand the mineralogy and petrology of the gabbro and its contained sulphide mineralization. The detailed report will be posted on our website at www.MontoroResources.com. Don Hawke, P.Geo., comments: ” the report indicates that the core visually described as gabbro during the logging is an altered and metamorphosed gabbro wherein primary pyroxene has been replaced by a chlorite-amphibole mixture and the only original modal mineral present is plagioclase. Sulphide minerals have been identified as pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite +/- pentlandite.”
Montoro will be releasing the final report from the downhole probe BH UTEM geophysical survey of Hole #1, along with the assays results and downhole probe survey of PDH-2 when everything is compiled.
Pecors Hole #2 (“PDH-2″)
As previously announced the mineralized core has been sampled and compiling of the assays will be completed and reported upon completion of the downhole probing and reports from Lamontagne Geophysics.
Lamontagne Geophysics has experienced some technical problems with the BH UTEM 4 downhole probe systems scheduled for work on PDH-2 this month. It is anticipated that this work will be completed early next week. This data combined with PDH-1 will give Montoro almost continuous below surface geophysical coverage for 1200m long, 600m wide and, as well a further 300m below each hole.
