[{"type":"text","content":"Avante Mining Hits Additional Sulfides Over 22 Metres at Voisey's WestVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 12, 2023) - Avante Mining Corp. (TSXV: AVA) (\"Avante\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce that it has intersected two additional intervals with visually identified nickel sulphide including 22 metres and 16 metres containing disseminated to semi-massive sulfides at the Voisey's West nickel project (\"Voisey's West\" or the \"Project\"). The Project is located in the same intrusive complex as the nearby Voisey's Bay mine and 70km west of the town of Nain, Labrador, Canada.HighlightsTwo additional holes into new zone containing visually identified nickel sulfide in pyrrhotite.Hole 4 contains highest concentration of sulfides to date including large zones of semi-massive sulfides.Hole 5 shows higher percentage of visual copper mineralization indicating potential for platinum group elements and gold enrichment.Drilling continues to expand on new discovery located 950 meters north of drillhole intersection showing 5 metres at 1.28% nickel, 0.52% copper and 0.03% cobalt (08-LP-55).Multiple targets remain open for expansion and show potential for additional new discoveries.Magmatic nickel sulphide style of mineralization, similar to the nearby Voisey's Bay.Adrian Smith, CEO of the Company, commented, \"These new holes show the highest concentration of sulphides on the property that we have seen. We are also seeing a variation of metals with a greater amount of visible copper higher in the system and greater concentrations of sulfides below, leaving us excited to follow the mineralization to depth where more massive sulfides could exist. The latest drilling verifies the presence of favorable conditions for the development of substantial mineral accumulations, and we are enthusiastic about progressing with our efforts at Voisey's West.\"Figure 1: Core photo from VW-23-04 at 19.8 metres down hole (left) and 20.2 metres (right) showing net-texture, sulfide-matrix to massive texture.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/6963/180329_fd0f5ad1d4726901_001full.jpgContinued drilling at Voisey's West has intersected two additional intervals of disseminated, blebby, net-textured, sulfide-matrix breccia, semi-massive and massive sulfides.
