PGM Nickel Exploration Continuing at East Bull Lake
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 10/24/11 -- Mustang Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: MUM)(FRANKFURT: NJF) is pleased to announce that further exploration drilling is planned at the East Bull Lake Project which is located 80 km west of Sudbury, Ontario. Western Areas NL (TSX: WSA)(ASX: WSA) has the right to earn up to a 65% interest in the project and will fund the upcoming program.
Previous surface sampling and drilling at East Bull has intersected significant, sulphide hosted nickel, copper and PGM mineralisation at shallow depth around the perimeter of the western and eastern intrusions. Notably, drilling completed at the Parisien Lake Deformation Zone intersected 1.1 meters assaying 9.2% copper and 12.5 g/t platinum group metals. (see press release dated July 3, 2008).
Upcoming exploration will be focused on a number of geophysical anomalies. Interpretation of the geophysical anomalies suggests that mineralization may extend to depths of up to 1500m. The responses may represent conductive geological contacts at the base of the western and eastern lobes of the intrusion.
A program of ground EM surveys will follow up on previous airborne geophysical surveys in order to prioritize targets for drilling. It is anticipated that 4-5 targets will be drill tested in the first phase of the program.
