Victory Nickel Drill Program Progressing at Minago Sulphide Nickel Project
Drilling evaluating potential infrastructure sites
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/04/12 -- Victory Nickel Inc. (the "Company") (TSX: NI) (), today announced that drilling is progressing at its 100%-owned Minago sulphide nickel projects in Manitoba.
A planned 3,500 metre program is testing a number of geological and geophysical targets around the property that were identified in previous work programs as well as areas that are scheduled for Minago mine infrastructure development. In part, the drilling is evaluating the nickel bearing Ospwagan Group/Pipe Formation rocks in the vicinity of the Minago Nose Deposit. Given the widespread nature of nickel mineralization on the Minago Project, and the number of targets identified the possibility of intersecting completely new nickel mineralization is considered good.
Diamond drilling is also being conducted on Mining Lease ML-003, located some five kilometres south of the Minago Nose Deposit. The site is known, from historical work, to be underlain by substantial thicknesses of nickeliferous serpentininte. The drilling is planned to confirm the presence of the nickel mineralization and evaluate the mineralization in comparison with that found elsewhere on the project.
