North American Nickel to Drill at Least 3,000 Meters this Summer

North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV:NAN,OTCBB:WSCRF) announced that it has started getting ready for this summer’s drill program at its Greenland-based, nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum group elements Maniitsoq project. At least 3,000 meters of drilling are planned, with fieldwork scheduled to start in May and drilling set to commence in June.

As quoted in the press release:

Recent modelling of airborne and downhole EM data collected in 2012 has identified two particularly high conductance targets (Figure 1). These targets are considered very high priority because concentrated magmatic nickel copper sulphides often produce high conductance EM anomalies.

The two highly conductive anomalies are P-63, one of the VTEM targets to be tested in the southern part of the 75 km long by 15 km wide Greenland Norite Belt (GNB), and a step response type off hole conductor at Imiak Hill, down plunge of significant intersections made by NAN in 2012.
