North American Nickel Starts 2014 Drilling at Maniitsoq

North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV:NAN,OTCBB:WSCRF) announced that drilling has begun at its nickel-copper-PGMs sulfide Maniitsoq project, located in Greenland. Two diamond drill rigs will be used.

As quoted in the press release:

The first drill is focused on the Imiak Hill Conduit Complex (‘IHCC’) and more specifically on the Imiak Hill zone where previous drilling intersected 4.31% Nickel, 0.62% Copper and 0.14% Cobalt over 18.62 metres core length in hole MQ-13-026 (See NAN announcement dated October 10, 2013). The zones at IHCC remain open at depth, and the 2014 drilling will test the down plunge potential of these nickel-copper-PGM systems. The deepest mineralized intersection to date on the property is in hole MQ-13-028, which reported 3.19 Ni and 1.14% Cu over 24.75m, at depth of approximately 185m from surface (See NAN announcement datedNovember 5, 2014).

The second drill is scheduled to start in about three weeks and will begin in the Pingo target area, located approximately 25 kilometers northwest of the IHCC. The 2013 Heli borne VTEM survey identified high priority sub surface conductors at Pingo, which are coincident with NAN’s surface sampling and historical exploration results; both have documented anomalous nickel sulphide mineralization in noritic rocks.
