[{"type":"text","content":"Group Ten Metals Completes Drill Program and Large-Scale Geophysical Survey, Reports 11 g/t Palladium-Platinum and 0.70% Nickel in Rock Samples at Stillwater West Project in Montana, USAVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 2, 2020 / Group Ten Metals Inc. (TSXV:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF)(FSE:5D32) (the \"Company\" or \"Group Ten\") is pleased to announce the successful completion of its 2020 field exploration campaign at its flagship Stillwater West platinum group element, nickel, copper, cobalt, and gold (\"PGE-Ni-Cu-Co + Au\") project in Montana, USA. The Company also announces high-grade results from geological sampling and mapping programs as part of its on-going reporting of 2020 results.Group Ten is targeting world-class deposits of PGEs and battery metals in the famously metal-rich and productive Stillwater mining district, which hosts the highest grade palladium-platinum mines in the world along with a smelter and refinery complex operated by Sibanye-Stillwater. The Company's work adjacent to Sibanye-Stillwater continues to demonstrate potential for bulk tonnage \"Platreef-style\" deposits of nickel and copper sulphide, enriched in palladium, platinum, rhodium, gold, and cobalt, within the lower Stillwater complex, based on known parallels with South Africa's Bushveld complex.Exploration at Stillwater West in 2020 focused on the following:Drilling and Resource ModelsA five-hole, 1,823 meter drill campaign was launched in mid-August which focused on the Chrome Mountain target area, in follow-up to the 2019 campaign which focused on the HGR and Camp target areas. Like the 2019 campaign, drilling in 2020 had the primary objectives of driving the conversion of drill-defined mineralized zones towards formal mineral resources, while also expanding the areas of known mineralization at priority targets identified by the Company. Group Ten's drill programs are also designed to provide important understanding of the location and characteristics of the mineralized magmatic stratigraphy that hosts these bulk tonnage deposits.Resource modeling is in progress at the Discovery, Camp, and HGR target areas, incorporating results from Group Ten's 2019 and 2020 campaigns and some of the more than 31,000 meters of total drill data across the project (see Figure 1). Drill data in these areas delineates thick intervals of continuous nickel-copper sulp...
