NioBay Metals Receives Authorization to Drill on Zone 1 of its Foothills Property

 

 

 

 

 

NioBay Metals Inc. (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF) is proud to announce the receipt of authorizations to carry out surface drilling on the Foothills Property.

 

The Company filed an application for authorization for impact projects with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests with the aim of carrying out a drilling campaign as soon as the work is approved. The sector targeted by this drilling campaign is located on the private lands of the Séminaire de Québec, identified as sector 1 by NioBay (see map below). NioBay plans to start work at the end of October, after the moose-hunting season.

 

The Foothills Project is located north of Saint-Urbain, 100 km north of Québec City and 90 km south of Saguenay (La Baie region), Québec. The project covers an area of approximately 285 km2 and is comprised of five separate claim blocks. It covers most of the contact of the intrusive zone known as the Saint-Urbain anorthosite.

About Titanium

 

Titanium (Ti) is as strong as steel, but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals, including aluminum, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft and spacecraft because of their low density and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They are also used in sports equipment, laptops, bicycles and medical prostheses. Recently, this metal has been used in some battery components.
