Metal Energy (MERG) is pleased to announce its diamond drilling exploration plans for Q1 2022 on the company’s Manibridge and Strange nickel projects.

James Sykes, CEO of Metal Energy Corp. sat down with Caroline Egan to discuss the upcoming program.

Drilling is expected to begin in January for Manibridge and February for Strange.

The Manibridge project is located in the Thompson Nickel Belt of Manitoba, one of the world’s richest and most prolific nickel districts.

Strange, encompassing 11,800 hectares, is located 55 kilometres southwest of Thunder Bay,

Diamond drilling plans include an initial 3,000 metres in seven drill holes in and around the historic Manibridge Mine workings. The drill program is anticipated to provide down hole information specific for understanding high-grade nickel mineralization in the old Mine area. This information will be used to produce a structural model that will be used for exploration across the entire project. A permit application for a larger drill program to start in Q2 2022 are in the works.

1,500 metres in two drill holes at Strange planned to target geophysical anomalies interpreted as ultramafic rock types overlying sedimentary units, typical of Proterozoic Mid-Continental Rift-style nickel deposits.

Metal Energy is an Ore Group company focused on exploring world-class nickel, copper and PGE deposits.

Metal Energy (MERG) opened trading at C$0.16 per share.
