SPC Nickel Corp (TSX-V:SPC, OTC:SPCNF) has completed its phase 1 and 2 drill programs at the West Graham nickel-copper project in the well-known and prolific mining district of Sudbury, Ontario.
A new resource estimate is expected by the end of 2023.
Sixty-seven drill holes were completed totalling 14,180 metres, and all encountered mineralisation. Of these mineralised holes, over 75% reported intersections equal to or better than the historical West Graham indicated resource.
Among the highlights were 7.9 metres grading 2.48% nickel and 0.64% copper and 20.2 metres grading 1.71% nickel and 0.46% copper.
“We are excited to have successfully completed phase 2 of our maiden drill program at West Graham,” said Grant Mourre, chief executive of SPC Nickel commented.
“The drill program has accomplished all of the initial goals we set out, namely to: a) confirm the extension of the historic West Graham mineral resource across the Crean Hill 3 Property currently under option from Vale Canada, b) to test the property for zones of higher-grade mineralization, that was accomplished with the intersections reported in WG-23-026 and WG-23-042 and c) to connect the known surface mineralization with the subsurface mineral resource.”
