Falcon Gold Corp (TSX-V:FG, OTC:FGLDF). has appointed Balch Exploration to fly AirTEM surveys over the group’s land within the HSP nickel-copper-cobalt project area.
AirTEM was successfully employed by Go Metals at their HSP project area and ground follow-up of the identified AirTEM anomalies, including trenching and direct drilling, which led to their new nickel discovery.
“We are following the same successful strategy utilized by Go Metals and will be flying our entire land position within the HSP project area," CEO Karim Rayani.
“Airborne electromagnetic and magnetic surveys are a proven exploration strategy to directly detect conductive nickel sulfide mineralization” he added. “We look forward to reporting back on the findings once the data has been collected and interpreted.”

On October 5, Falcon Gold announced the acquisition of 413 claims covering 22,302 hectares of strategic ground through both an option agreement and by staking contiguous and proximal to Go Metals Corp's HSP nickel-copper PGE project 130 km north of Havre St. Pierre, Quebec.
The staking covers approximately 135 km of prospective contact of the Havre St. Pierre anorthositic complex where Go Metals Corp recently announced the discovery of "wide intervals of nickel and copper sulphides," the company said.
The most westerly block of the claims covers the southwest extension of the anorthositic complex, is situated on a prospective fold nose structure and is located less than 2.2 km from prominent airborne TDEM ((time-domain electromagnetics) anomalies identified by Go Metals.
