Noted: "EOC" refers to end of casing; "EOH" refers to end of hole. The lengths reported are
core lengths and not true widths. The company has insufficient information to determine the
attitude, either of the ultramafic body or of mineralized zones within it. True widths will
be less than the core lengths by unknown factors.
The 2018 drilling program by Spruce Ridge and its joint venture partner, a group of private investors, was focused on the Crawford ultramafic complex, a 3.5-kilometre-long body of peridotite, dunite and their serpentinized equivalents. The target was defined by a helicopter-borne magnetic and electromagnetic survey and an airborne gravity survey, both conducted over of the entire project area of 100 square kilometres. An artificial intelligence (AI) review of data, provided by Albert Mining Inc., also identified the area as being prospective for nickel.
Vance White, president and chief executive officer of Noble, is quoted as saying: “We are very pleased with the results that Spruce has returned and, in particular, the core lengths containing consistent mineralization on this massive anomaly located with easy access from Highway 655. We look very much forward to Spruce continuing their program as we continue to bring in additional option and JV Partners to our extensive 79,000-hectare landholdings.”
