Outcrops of gabbro were identified on the Kirkham Property along the southwestern extension of the >~12km trend known as the Nickel Mountain Gabbro Complex; Ground-based follow-up on nickel sulphide targets is focused on mafic intrusions at both the \"K9\" target and the southern flank of the Lehto Pluton which contains fragments of gabbro and may be the source of olivine gabbro boulders identified in the drainage. Mapping and prospecting have identified outcropping Nickel Mountain-type leucocratic gabbros at \"K9\" (Click here to View Map). Soil and selective rock-chip samples have been collected for geochemical and petrogenetic analysis. Depending on the results, Metallis geologists plan to carry out detailed studies aimed at establishing the source of the mafic igneous rocks and their potential to host magmatic nickel sulphide mineralization, and New gold target at Thunder South: Re-evaluation and mapping of the Hazelton stratigraphy has resulted in the discovery of a significant shear ...
