North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV:NAN,OTCBB:WSCRF) announced that recent drill core assay results confirm the discovery of significant Nickel-Copper-Cobalt and Precious Metals (Platinum+Palladium+Gold) mineralized intrusions outside of the high grade Imiak Hill Conduit Complex in Greenland.
As quoted in the press release:
The newly discovered intrusions, though poorly exposed, were identified during a 2013 site inspection of a cluster of three VTEM conductors collectively known as the P-13 target (see figures 1 and 2: https://media3.marketwire.com/docs/NR_112113_NAN_Fig1and2.pdf). Small exposures of rusty, gossanous norite were noted at several locations within the P-13 target area and 3 EM conductors were subsequently tested for a total of three holes (MQ-13-032 to 034).
North American Nickel CEO, Rick Mark, said:
The discovery of new near surface Nickel, Copper, Cobalt and PGM mineralisation at the P-13 target provides more evidence of the district scale potential of Maniitsoq. These initial near surface results, coupled with the associated off hole conductors, are indicative of what we originally saw at the high grade Imiak Hill Conduit Complex. It is important to realize that the 2013 prospecting program that confirmed this airborne target was the first of its kind in more than a decade, so there is much more to learn at Maniitsoq outside our primary focus, the Imiak Hill Complex. This is the fourth new discovery of nickel sulphide mineralization at Maniitsoq this year and continues the exploration successes of NAN’s technical team.
