Magna Mining Inc. (NICU) has discovered new precious and base metal mineralization at the Crean Hill Mine in Ontario.
According to the company, the mineralization was found in the 109-footwall zone where hole MCR-22-010 intersected high grades of nickel and copper, as well as high-grade gold-platinum-palladium.
The 109 zone appears to extend into the footwall breccia that is associated with the mine’s main zone. The company also confirmed the presence of multiple footwall breccia corridors in the 109 zone, which will be further tested during this year’s drill program.
David King, Senior Vice President of Magna, commented,
“The current 109 [footwall] zone mineral resource remains open below the 365-metre level, and wide-spaced historical production drilling suggests this style of low sulphide, high-grade mineralization continues to depth.”
This information will be used to enhance the preliminary economic assessment which is underway.
Most of the company’s Crean Hill drilling in 2022 focused on nickel-copper mineralization within the intermediate zone and high-grade nickel-rich veining in the 101 zone. The 109 zone is a different style of mineralization with low sulphides and high-grade precious metals.
Magna’s 2023 drill program has begun, and the initial results from this drilling are expected towards the end of February.
