Disko is highly prospective for nickel

Bluejay Mining PLC (LON:JAY) has identified 20 large scale drill-ready targets on its 2,776 square kilometre Disko-Nuussuaq nickel-copper-platinum project in West Greenland.

A new work programme has been designed to refine both new and previously defined drill targets by reprocessing and validating historical data and acquiring new geophysical and geochemical data.

What’s more, the prospectivity of the area has been highlighted by major mining companies recently acquiring around 10,000 square kilometres of ground surrounding Disko.

“As the Dundas ilmenite project moves through permitting, joint assessment and ultimately construction, Bluejay is now able to redirect its exploration focus to the Disko and Nuussuaq area in West Greenland,” said Bluejay chief executive Roderick McIllree.

“This is recognised by the geological community as being highly prospective for metals including nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group metals. Historic surface sampling on the Disko licence has already confirmed a working sulphide system with initial chemical assays in oxidised surface material returning 2.02% nickel, 0.8% copper and 0.2% cobalt.  Further to this, additional handheld XRF sampling on fresh, polished material from the gossan zones returned values averaging between 4.6% and 9.3% nickel and 1.5% and 2.8% copper.”
