Sama Reports additional high-grade drill intercepts from the Grata Prospect, located in the Ivory Coast, West Africa

 

(TheNewswire)

 
  
  SAMA Resources Inc. 
 
 

  Hole GR-17 intercepted 303 metres of mineralisation including 8.1 metres of 1.00% nickel, 0.81% copper and 1.13 gpt palladium  

 

  Hole GR-15 intercepted 199 metres of mineralisation including 8.5 metres of 0.86% nickel, 0.86% copper and 1.00 gpt palladium  

 

Montréal, Quebec TheNewswire - Sept 07, 2022 Sama Resources Inc. ("Sama" or the "Company") (TSXV:SME ) ( OTC:SAMMF) is pleased to announce the assay results from additional drilling from the 2021-22 drilling campaign at the Grata Nickel–Copper–Palladium prospect. To date, Sama has drilled a total of 64 drill holes totalling 15,924 metres at the project in 2022 with 45 drill holes totalling 14,995 metres at Grata alone. The assay results for holes GR-12 to GR-19b are summarized in this release, remaining results are pending.

 

  Highlights  

 
  •  

      15,924 metres in 64 holes drilled to date at the Samapleu-Grata-Yepleu deposits  

     
    •  

        8,000 metres initially budgeted  

       
    •  
    •  

        Mineralised intersections are up to 303 metres in thickness from surface.  

       
    •  
    •  

        Results confirm mineralisation over 850 metres of strike  

       
    •  
  •  
  •  

      Assays results are pending for 22 remaining Grata drill holes  

     
  •  
  •  

      Detailed metallurgical studies on Grata material are ongoing  

     
  •  

  "Given our successful drill efforts to date at the Grata discovery, we are expecting to enhance our mineral resources for the entire project. Today's results continue to demonstrate the upside potential of the Grata deposit but also for the entire property" stated Dr. Marc-Antoine Audet, President & CEO of Sama Resources Inc.  

 

  Mr. Audet added: "We will continue exploring the Grata prospect for massive sulphide lenses and accumulations within this large feeder zone of the Yacouba ultramafic-mafic intrusive complex while pursuing multiple other promising targets within the Samapleu-Yepleu exploration area that have been totally unexplored.  

 

  Assays results for 9 holes (GR-12 to GR-19b) drilled in Q1 2022 are presented in   Table 1   . All measurements are core lengths and may not represent true geological widths.

  Grata: Latest discovery in the Yacouba Ultramafic-Mafic ("UM") Intrusive Complex  

 

  In September 2021, Sama announced the Grata discovery located 5 kilometres east of the Samapleu deposit (   Figure 1   ).  

 

  The discovery hole, GR-03 (   Figure 2   ), drilled in June 2021, returned a 310-metre sequence of pyroxenite and gabbro containing a 147-metre interval of disseminated sulfides and several intersections of semi-massive sulphide mineralisation.   The second hole, GR-04, confirmed the width of the mineralised zone with a 141-metre mineralised intersection including 6.4 metres("m") grading   1.05% nickel   ("Ni")   , 1.28% copper   ("Cu")   and 0.48 grams per tonnes   ("   gpt")   palladium   ("Pd")   and 6.6 m grading 0.73% Ni, 0.38% Cu and 0.30 gpt Pd.  

 

  This release discloses mineralised intersections ranging from 134 m (GR-16) to 303 m (GR-17). Hole GR-17 returned a combined 303 m of mineralised material, including 8.1 m grading 1.00% Ni, 0.81% Cu and 1.13   gpt   of Pd and 2.8 m at 0.93% Ni, 0.74% Cu and 1.10 gpt Pd. Hole GR-12 intersected a combined 239 m of mineralised material grading 0.30% Ni including 8.5 m at 0.86% Ni, 0.79% Cu and 1.0 gpt Pd. Hole GR-15 intersected a combined 199 m grading 0.30% Ni and 0.30% Cu including 3.4 m at 1.48% Ni, 1.85% Cu and 2.11 gpt Pd.  

 

  The mineralisation at Grata is similar in composition to the Samapleu deposit ("   Samapleu   ") but shows a higher proportion of chalcopyrite.  

 

  Sama's goal is to increase mineral resources at Samapleu and Grata as well as searching for massive sulphide veins and lenses that could have accumulated at depth in traps and embayments along the feeder system of the Yacouba UM Intrusive Complex.

Nickel Price Update: Q2 2025 in Review

After spiking above US$20,000 per metric ton in May 2024, nickel prices have experienced a downward trend, mainly remaining in the US$15,000 to US$16,000 range.

Indonesia's elevated production levels have been a primary factor contributing to low commodity prices, as sustained high output continues to oversupply the market. The supply surplus has had a knock-on effect, putting pressure on Western producers who have been forced to slash their production to maintain profitability.

Elevated output coincides with electric vehicle (EV) demand, which is under threat as market uptake has slowed, and policy changes in the United States are expected to increase costs for consumers and lower sentiment for the vehicles.

South32 Announces Up to US$100 Million Sale of Cerro Matoso, Shifts Focus to Critical Minerals

South32 (ASX:S32,OTC Pink:SHTLF) said on Monday (July 7) that it has agreed to sell the Cerro Matoso nickel mine in Colombia to a subsidiary of CoreX Holding following recent changes in the nickel market.

South32 now plans to focus on critical minerals, describing its flagship Hermosa project in Patagonia as a “next generation mine.” Hermosa hosts the zinc-lead-silver Taylor sulphide deposit, and the zinc-manganese-silver Clark oxide deposit.

"The Transaction is consistent with our strategy and will further streamline our portfolio toward higher margin businesses in minerals and metals critical to the world’s energy transition,” said South32 CEO Graham Kerr.

FPX Nickel Completes Production Run of Battery-Grade Nickel Sulphate to Support Discussions with Prospective EV Battery Supply Chain Partners

FPX Nickel Corp. (TSXV: FPX) (OTCQB: FPOCF) ("FPX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce successful production of additional battery-grade nickel sulphate from its Baptiste Nickel Project ("Baptiste" or the "Project"). Building on the success of previous testing campaigns, a production run was completed to produce larger quantities of nickel sulphate crystals. The nickel sulphate samples, which meet the strict target specifications for battery applications, will be provided to selected prospective downstream partners including pCAM producers, battery companies, and automakers pursuing supply security, traceable sourcing, and low carbon intensity production.

"The production of high-purity nickel sulphate further positions us to engage in strategic discussions with prospective downstream partners across the global EV supply chain," commented Martin Turenne, FPX Nickel's President and Director. "This milestone further demonstrates the strategic flexibility of the Baptiste awaruite concentrate and the technical maturity of the awaruite refining process."

Top 9 Nickel-producing Countries

The top nickel producing countries list has been shaken in recent years by Indonesia's rapid rise to the top, beating the Philippines and New Caledonia.

Demand for nickel is mounting. Stainless steel accounts for the vast majority of nickel demand, but electric vehicle (EV) batteries represent a growing application for the base metal as the shift toward a greener future gains steam.

But while nickel's long-term outlook appears bright, it may face headwinds in the short term. Nickel prices have been trending down since breaking US$20,000 per metric ton in May 2024 as weak usage coincides with strong output from top producer Indonesia.
