The massive sulphide mineralization is characterized by chalcopyrite-rich veins, with significant cubanite, pentlandite and millerite and is interpreted as being a 'sharp-walled' Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd-Au vein system. Its mineralized system is characterized by chalcopyrite-rich veins, with significant cubanite, pentlandite and millerite and is interpreted as being a 'Sharp-walled' Cu-Ni-Pt-Pd-Au vein system. The Corporation believes this resource to be relevant to the extent that it shows that significant quantities of disseminated to semi-massive pyrrhotite, pentlandite and chalcopyrite are present and constitutes a valid exploration target. |
