Assays Identify Record Massive Sulphide Interval Of 21.73m @ 8.35% NiEq
Talon Metals Corp. (TSX: TLO) has drilled the longest record intersection of mixed massive sulphides to date at the Tamarack Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project in Minnesota, USA.
The Tamarack Nickel Project comprises the Tamarack North Project and the Tamarack South Project.
Drill hole 20TK0278 intersected 21.73m of mixed massive sulphide mineralisation grading 6.72% Ni, 2.95% Cu, 0.13% Co, 0.56 g/t Pd, 0.76 g/t Pt and 0.38 g/t Au (8.35% NiEq or 22.28% CuEq), starting at 459.72m.
Within this 21.73m interval, the company intersected 6.52m @ 8.21% Ni, 3.72% Cu, 0.16% Co, 0.67g/t Pd, 0.86 g/t Pt, 0.36 g/t Au (10.21% NiEq or 27.23% CuEq), starting at 467.44m
Head of Exploration, Brian Goldner, said these results increase the thickness of the high-grade Massive Sulphide Unit (MSU) to the south of the Tamarack Nickel Project’s resource area, and further exploration of this area is now a high priority for the company.
“Not only was this a record length of mixed and massive sulphides at the Tamarack Nickel Project, but the assays show excellent grades that are extremely rare amongst nickel projects globally,” Mr Goldner said.
“Clearly this area merits additional focus and will see additional drilling in the coming months to test how far south the high-grade Massive Sulphide Unit potentially extends.”
