Canada Nickel <\/strong>has released full assays for hole CR20-33 as well as nickel assays for hole CR20-32, which step out the East zone nickel-PGM mineralization by 400 metres to the east at the Ontario project and extend the Main zone nickel mineralization by 1.5 km to the north, respectively.<\/p>\n

The drill highlights include 38 metres of 0.37% nickel and 0.17 g\/t PGMs within a 315-metre interval of 0.25% nickel starting at 120 metres from hole CR20-33 as well as 243 metres of 0.25% nickel and 0.013% cobalt starting at 390 metres in hole CR20-32 (PGM assays for this intercept were reported on May 19<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“Our latest drilling results further reinforce our belief that Crawford is one of the leading next generation nickel-cobalt sulphide and palladium projects\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Selby, CEO, Canada Nickel<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased with the latest significant nickel mineralization step-outs \u2013 extending our Main zone by 1.5 km and our East zone discovery by 400 metres,\u201d Mark Selby, the company\u2019s chairman and CEO, said in a release. <\/p>\n

\u201cImportantly, this is the second of three holes on the East zone with a higher-grade interval (0.37% nickel over 38 metres) that also contained elevated palladium and platinum grades. Our latest drilling results further reinforce our belief that Crawford is one of the leading next generation nickel-cobalt sulphide and palladium projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crawford currently features two known zones of nickel-cobalt-PGM mineralization: the Main and East zones. These latest results suggest a 3.2-km total strike of the Main zone, which remains open to the west, and extend the East zone, which lies within a 2.8-km long geophysical anomaly, by 400 metres, to 2.1 km of strike.<\/p>\n

Canada Nickel announced the discovery of the East zone on May 19 \u2013 initial assays reported earlier this month include 55 metres of 0.42% nickel and 0.2 g\/t PGMs within a 256-metre interval grading 0.3% nickel and 0.05 g\/t PGMs.<\/p>\n

The PGM-bearing zone at Crawford appears to lie at the geologic contact directly to the north of and parallel to the nickel-bearing structure. The company first discovered this zone in April<\/a> \u2013 according to the company, it appears to span the entire length of the Crawford unit.<\/p>\n
