A total of eight holes were completed during first-phase drilling on the Company's property with ultramafic intrusive rock intersected in three of the eight holes representing three unique bodies. Diamond drill holes MW-02 and MW-08 identified a thick (over 80 metres) peridotite intrusive body, which closely resembles the host peridotite of the Eagle One nickel-copper discovery. Although the holes were designed to test a number of discrete geophysical anomalies identified through the ground program, the amount of sulphides observed in the core did not provide an explanation and further work is required. Drill hole MW-01 was collared to test the "mafic" dyke identified in outcrop during the winter geophysical program and intersected two separate ultramafic dykes at depth. Assay results for the core samples are pending. Owing to the presence of potential nickel-PGE host rocks and the lack of explanations for the geophysical and geochemical anomalies, the Company is now planning further geophysical programs on the property. A VTEM survey is has been completed over the McFauld’s West property and is expected to be followed by a deep-penetrating, high resolution ground geophysical survey. The second ground program will be used to narrow the spacing of the initial program in order to better resolve the anomalies and provide more accurate drill targets for a Fall program.
