North American Nickel is undertaking geophysical surveying at its flagship property, Post Creek in Sudbury.
The InfiniTEM ground surveying will be done by Abitibi Geophysics and will take eight days to complete. Results are anticipated within a month of completion.
The survey is being done to assess the Post Creek property at depths of up to 400 m for conductive targets associated with the Whistle Offset Structure and to complement the results of shallow-looking geophysical surveys and prospecting activities undertaken by the company over the past several months.
“The InfiniTEM survey is designed to look deeper in key areas of the property that we have identified, but where we are unable to explore using surface-based Beep Mat surveys and/or historic geophysics,” president and COO Mark Fedikow said in a news release. “We have been successful in identifying multiple geological, geophysical, and geochemical drill targets near surface and now have the tool to assist us in generating deeper targets at Post Creek.”
In May, North American Nickel completed a non-brokered private placement of flow-through shares and began trading on the TSX.
The company is currently focused on mineral exploration at its Sudbury-area properties, including Post Creek, which runs adjacent to Quadra FNX's Podolsky property along the Whistle Offset dyke structure, a major geological control for nickel, copper, and platinum group metals mineralization.
