Québec Nickel Corp (CSE:QNI, OTCQB:QNICF) announced new drilling assay results from the Fortin Sill Zone at its Ducros nickel nickel-copper-platinum group elements project in Québec which suggest the metals-rich zone is open at depth and along strike.
Highlights from the results included Hole QDG-22-63, which returned a 4.9 metre (m)-long drill intercept averaging 0.77% nickel, 0.56% copper, 340 parts per million cobalt, and 0.80 grams per ton platinum-palladium-gold, which includes higher 3 m-long subintervals of 1.06% nickel, 0.77% copper, 447 parts per million cobalt, and 1.09 grams per ton platinum-palladium-gold.
Individual one-metre-long samples from the reported intersection returned up to 1.27% nickel, 1.21% copper, 559 parts per million cobalt and 1.46 grams per ton platinum-palladium-gold, Québec Nickel noted.
