Pancon Intersects 1.3% Nickel, 0.47% Copper and 5.6% Sulphur over 4.2 Metres, Demostrating Ni-Cu Sulphide Potential at the St. Laurent Project

 

 

 

 

 

Pancontinental Resources Corporation (TSX-V: PUC) provides exploration results from a recently completed program at the Company’s St. Laurent Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project. The program was planned to evaluate an historical Ni-Cu showing coincident with a pronounced 600-metre-long unexplained airborne electromagnetic anomaly. Recent drilling and downhole geophysical results confirm and expand upon the exploration potential of this new magmatic nickel sulphide target. The St. Laurent Project is located in northeastern Ontario, 50 kilometres south of the producing Detour Lake Mine and 20 kilometres southwest of the producing Casa Berardi Mine.

 

Pancon President and CEO Layton Croft stated: “Our initial drill program produced assay results with considerably higher grade mineralization than previous programs (see Tables 1 and 2 below). The intersection of greater than 1% nickel within sulphide disseminations and sulphide stringers is encouraging (see Figures 1 and 2 below). The most significant result is the low associated Sulphur (S) content of these intersections (5-8% S). The Ni:S ratios predict a grade of 3-5% Ni for massive sulphides (25-35% S) within this system, which is our exploration goal. Drilling has extended the mineralization a considerable distance along strike and at depth, providing indications of a much larger system then previously known. The bore hole electromagnetic survey (BHEM) has identified a series of significant conductors associated with the mineralized trend and remains open and unexplained in the down plunge direction. The results of this program allow us to confidently develop a larger exploration program to follow-up on these significant new conductors.”

 

Highlights:

 

  • Three mineralized intervals in SL-19-01 returned Nickel (Ni) assays averaging greater than 1% Ni.
  • SL-19-03 intersected 113 metres of a wide continuous section of disseminated sulphides and sulphide stringers, extending the mineralized system to approximately 500 metres.
  • The Ni-S ratios predict a grade of 3-5% Ni in a massive sulphide.
  • BHEM surveys have identified a complex series of conductors plunging to the northeast within and proximal to the interpreted mineralized trend.

SL-19-01 intersected a broad section of mineralized gabbro, interrupted by several barren dikes. Three mineralized intervals all returned Ni assays greater than 1% Ni. This mineralization is located 90 metres down dip from the nearest drill intersection, demonstrating higher grade portions to the mineralized system.

 

SL-19-03 intersected a 113 metre-wide continuous section of disseminated sulphides and sulphide stringers. The intersection is located 250 metres northeast of the nearest drill intersection, thus demonstrating the size potential and continuity of the target area (see Table 3 and Figure 3 below). Limited drilling on the Project does not provide sufficient information to accurately determine the geometry of the mineralization or the true thickness of reported intersections.

 

Borehole TDEM geophysical surveys indicate a complex series of conductive features plunging to the northeast. The Maxwell Plate interpretation indicates conductive anomalies along a down plunge distance of 550 metres, greatly extending the exploration target area.

 

Additional geophysical modelling is being considered to assist in selecting drill targets. As massive sulphides are generally strong conductors, Pancon is confident that the interpretation of the geology and the geophysical results at the St. Laurent Project support additional exploration drilling to discover massive sulphide mineralization.
