Canada Nickel Announces Results from Crawford PGM Zone Infill Drilling Campaign
Highlights
- Successful infill drilling campaign targeted PGM Zones at Crawford with 45 holes intersecting drill intervals of > 1g/t palladium + platinum
- Results include:
- 2.19 g/t palladium + platinum over core length of 76.5 metres in
Crawford Main Zone including 3.90 g/t over core length of 13.5 metres - 1.15 g/t palladium + platinum over 38.5 metres in
Crawford East Zone including 2.94 g/t over core length of 4.5 metres
- 2.19 g/t palladium + platinum over core length of 76.5 metres in
- PGM results will be included in development of a
Crawford PGM Zone resource estimate and incorporated into the Crawford nickel mine plan
Crawford PGM Drilling
In early drilling campaigns at Crawford, "PGM zones" were identified (Figure 1) with platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) mineralization (Pt+Pd or PGM) occurring within a transitional boundary between the pyroxenite and peridotite units (the "PGM zone") that overlie the nickel-bearing dunites. In 2022, several areas were targeted for PGM mineralization throughout the whole Crawford property. Seventeen holes within the proposed Crawford pit are reported in this release. In 2024, a total of 31 holes were completed - 23 holes were drilled into the East zone, and eight new holes were drilled into the
The purpose of the 2024 drill program was to provide sufficient infill drilling to produce a resource estimate on the PGM zones. Canada Nickel successfully intersected mineralized peridotite/pyroxenite in 28 of the 31 holes drilled. Assay results from both the 2022 and 2024 programs are tabulated in Table 1 and shown in Figure 2.
