Results from the expansion drill campaign demonstrated the impressive scale and grade of mineralization at Stillwater West with multiple drill intercepts of percent level nickel sulphide plus strong copper, cobalt, gold, and Platinum Group Element (\"PGE\") values across nine kilometers in wide step-outs from known mineralization at three of the five deposit areas.The updated resource estimate will be the first to integrate detailed geological insights from similar geology in South Africa's Platreef district under the direction of Dr. Danie Grobler, who recently joined the team as Vice-President Exploration.Additional rhodium assay results are pending for inclusion in the updated resource models.A ground-based gravity geophysical survey covering approximately 15.5 line-km was completed in September 2022 in the Chrome Mountain target area. The survey is a test based on the success of this technique in targeting mineralization in South Africa's Bushveld complex.A comprehensive review of the project's substantial database with targeted core re-logging has been completed to update the Company's geologic model and integrate the understanding of im...
