First Class Metals plc (FCM) reported an increase in strike length to more than 600m following assays at the company’s West Pickle Lake polymetallic project in Ontario, Canada.
TRENDING STRUCTURE
The company has previously reported high grade intercepts from assays of its 2022 drill programme.
FCM today added that the increased strike length remained open to the east and west.
The project is an earn in / joint venture with Palladium One Inc who reported new results including:
– 3.9% nickel, 2.5% copper, 0.05% Co, 0.55 g/t total precious metals (TPM- Pt+Pd+Au) over 2.0 metres of massive and semi-massive sulphides in hole TK-22-074
– including 8.1% Ni, 2.8% Cu, 0.11% Co, 1.05 g/t TPM over 0.9m
– hole TK22-76 drilled just off the 100% owned FCM North Hemlo property boundary by Palladium One intercepted 46.3m of anomalous nickel mineralisation in an east west trending structure.
POTENTIAL
FCM said this further proved up Palladium One’s property-wide feeder dyke/chonolith geological model.
The anomalous values in hole TK22-76 increase the potential to the west and onto the 100% owned North Hemlo block, added the company.
To date, Palladium One has drilled a total 32 holes for 6,766m in the vicinity of the West Pickle Lake discovery.
