SPC Nickel Corp (TSX-V:SPC, OTC:SPCNF) has released additional assay results from a series of short holes drilled immediately beneath the surface exposure of the West Graham mineralized zone in Ontario.
Results from the program continue to return thick, shallow mineralized intervals at grades equal to or better than the historical West Graham mineral resource.
The recently completed West Graham drill program has focused on expanding and confirming the known mineralized zones, with the objective of delivering a new consolidated mineral resource by the end of 2023.
The results highlight the potential to add near surface resources which could be amenable to low cost, bulk mining methods.
Among the highlights from the recent drilling were 1.01% nickel and 0.53% copper over 17 metres, and 0.77% nickel and 0.48% copper over five metres.
Both these intercepts occurred within wider mineralised zones.
"Today's results continue to demonstrate continuity in both the grade and thickness of the West Graham mineralized zone,” said Grant Mourre, chief executive of SPC Nickel.
“Results from West Graham continue to exceed our expectations, returning grades equal to or better than the historical West Graham mineral resource.
This, he said, “demonstrates the project's excellent potential.”
