(“Cleghorn” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:CZZ) is pleased to announce drill results from diamond drilling completed on the Company’s 100%-owned Meech Lake – Matachewan - Prospect, located in Northeastern Ontario, within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The initial drill results (ML-18-008 to ML-18-011) are from the historical Kell’s Showing where selective grab sampling by the company in 2016 assayed up to 8.31% Cu, 3.80% Ni, 13.5 g/t Pt, 60.4 g/t Pd & 1.89 g/t Au. The objective of the initial drilling program at the Kell’s Showing was to confirm the grade, configuration and extent of surface mineralization discovered by prospector Hugh Kell in 1946, following a large-scale systematic trenching program. All previous exploration drilling campaigns (1951-52; 1973-74; 1988; 1992) were unsuccessful in expanding the Kell’s Showing along strike or down plunge. Drillhole ML-18-008 and ML-18-009 were drilled directly under the historic Kell’s Showing. Both holes intersected weakly mineralized zones of nickel and copper mineralization. ML-18-010 and ML-18-011 were collared 25 metres to the west of the mafic intrusive -hosted mineralization visible in the surface occurrence. ML-18-011 intersected the down plunge extension of the high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE surface mineralization at depth (see Table I for the drillhole co-ordinates). Highlights for the assay results from ML-18-011: 6.3m @ 0.746% Ni, 1.29% Cu, 2.36g/t Pd, 0.617g/t Pt, 0.751g/t Au & 6.64g/t Ag Includes Upper Zone: 2.4m @ 0.59% Ni, 0.72% Cu, 1.18g/t Pd, 0.32g/t Pt, 1.25g/t Au &7.23g/t Ag And: 0.55m @ 0.87% Ni, 1.21% Cu, 1.62g/t Pd, 0.39g/t Pt, 1.35g/t Au & 14.9g/t Ag Includes Lower Zone: 3.25m @ 1.0% Ni, 1.97% Cu, 3.70g/t Pd, 0.96g/t Pt, 0.46g/t Au & 7.49g/t Ag And: 1.6m @ 1.56% Ni, 2.36% Cu, 5.04g/t Pd, 1.0g/t Pt, 0.48g/t Au & 8.23g/t Ag With: 0.4m @ 1.24%Ni, 4.05% Cu, 12.55g/t Pd, 1.27g/t Pt, 0.69g/t Au & 14.6g/t Ag Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization is hosted in a coarse-grained mafic (gabbro) unit (s) that has intruded a sequence of volcanic trachyte rocks. Mineralization consists of disseminated to blebby net-textured sulphides and fracture controlled semi to massive sulphides. Alteration in the mineralized zones mainly consist of strong chlorite and strong carbonate alteration. The high-...
