[{"type":"text","content":"Group Ten Reports Multiple High-Grade Rhodium Results from the Stillwater West PGE-Ni-Cu Project in Montana, USAVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 11, 2020 / Group Ten Metals Inc. (TSX.V:PGE)(OTCQB:PGEZF)(FSE:5D32) (the \"Company\" or \"Group Ten\") is pleased to announce results of rhodium analyses from rock samples and drill core from the Company's flagship Stillwater West platinum group element, nickel, copper, cobalt (\"PGE-Ni-Cu-Co\") project in Montana, USA.This is the sixth in a series of planned news releases to report results of exploration programs that focused on the advancement of drill-defined mineralized zones at five multi-kilometer-scale priority target areas. Subsequent news releases will report results from ongoing modelling work, update on work at reef target areas, and announce plans for 2020 field exploration programs.Highlights:A reconnaissance-scale program was conducted on drill and rock samples from target areas up to ten kilometers west of Iron Mountain where Group Ten reported rhodium results of up to 5.78 g/t Rh at the HGR target;Multiple rock samples from the 2019 campaign returned high-grade rhodium assays, including 1.07 g/t Rh at the Bald Hills target, 0.541 g/t Rh at the Pine Target, and 0.572 g/t Rh and 0.492 g/t Rh at the Dunite Ridge target, in addition to the high-grade palladium, platinum and gold values reported previously;Analysis of drill core from the Iron Mountain and Camp target areas also demonstrated significant co-product potential with intervals ranging up to 0.167 g/t Rh;The rhodium results from Dunite Ridge and Bald Hills are considered particularly significant as both targets also yielded multiple samples with high-grade platinum and palladium. These targets have been tested with just one drill hole to date, with hole CM-2008-06 returning highly anomalous palladium, platinum, and gold mineralization of up to 2 g/t 3E over 0.91 meter in a shallow (152-meter total depth) test at Bald Hills. Dunite Ridge has not been drill tested to date;Rhodium grade was observed to correlate with platinum and palladium content, and also with chromite content, similar to both the UG2 and Flatreef deposits in South Africa's Bushveld complex;Rhodium is a rare platinum group element that is primarily used alongside platinum and palladium in automotive catalytic converters. The total global rhodium mar...
