Nickel producer Liberty Mines announced plans to begin an 8,000-metre drill program for early March 2011, according to a Feb. 25 press release.
It is designed to augment current ore resources at the Hart deposit located about 27 kilometres southeast of Timmins or six kilometres east of the company's producing Redstone Mine.
The Hart deposit is believed to host additional tonnages down plunge of the known mineralization as defined in the current resource and scoping study by SRK Consultants.
A VTEM survey was also flown over the Shaw Dome. Experts will be retained to interpret the data.
Additionally, Liberty will focus on the Groves project about 75 kilometres south of Timmins. It is recognized as a magmatic nickel-copper sulphide deposit hosted within a gabbroic intrusive. It also contains a historically reported resource of 500,000 tons of 1.5 per cent copper and nickel.
