QUEBEC –
Midland Exploration of Montreal is resuming exploration at its Laflamme nickel-copper-platinum group metals project 25 km northwest of Lebel-sur-Quevillon in the Abitibi region. This year’s program includes a squid-type electromagnetic survey of the Copernick zone discovered in the spring of 2016. A helicopter-borne, high resolution magnetic survey is also planned.
Drilling the Copernick zone returned two separate zones of mostly massive mineralization. The first zone assayed 1.11% nickel, 0.47% copper, 0.21 g/t platinum and 0.79 g/t palladium over 3.50 metres from 449.00 to 452.50 metres. The second zone assayed 0.44% nickel, 0.88% copper, 0.21 g/t platinum and 0.27 g/t palladium over 4.05 metres, from 458.95 to 463.00 metres.
Midland noted that the mineralization is hosted in ultramafic intrusive rocks containing variable amounts of pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite.
