Wellgreen Platinum (TSX:WG) has completed its 2015 drill and fieldwork programs at its Wellgreen PGM-nickel project in Canada’s Yukon.
As quoted in the press release:
Utilizing diamond core and reverse circulation drill rigs, 5,169 metres were drilled over the Q4 Program, for a total of 9,005 metres completed in 2015. Drilling was undertaken in the Far West, West, Central, East and Far East Zones to test down-dip extensions to known disseminated mineralization, as well as extensions to areas of higher grade mineralization. Some of the drill core will also be used to gather representative samples of material from geometallurgical domains across the deposit for a metallurgical testing program that will commence shortly with XPS Consulting and Testwork Services, overseen by Eggert Engineering Inc., PF Wells Metallurgical Associates Inc., and Gems Unlimited Consulting Inc.
Assay results from the drill program are pending. The results from the Q4 Program, along with those from the previous two drill campaigns detailed in a news release dated December 21, 2015, are expected to be incorporated into an updated geological deposit model.
Wellgreen interim president and COO, John Sagman, said:
The Company is committed to advancing the Wellgreen project in a cost effective manner. With a successful drill program behind us, our focus now shifts to high priority metallurgical and process engineering studies while also continuing environmental baseline, assessment and mitigation studies.
