High resolution magnetic surveys in the area of historic nickel-copper-cobalt mines have defined multiple strong magnetic responses along the trends of mineralization. These areas of strong magnetic response are interpreted to represent steeply plunging bodies of massive sulfide mineralization that is rich in pyrrhotite. The magnetic data appears to confirm additional continuity of drill defined zones of mineralization known from the historic drilling. Along with the historic drill data, this new magnetic data is being used to define multiple high priority drill targets for the upcoming drill program.Further work prior to drilling will include additional magnetic surveys and integration of the new geophysical data with historic data sets.Slättberg's massive sulfide mineralization is known to be strongly magnetic, owing to its high concentrations of pyrrhotite, a magnetic ferrous sulfide mineral associated with the Co-Ni-Cu mineralization. The new magnetic data is being used to potentially generate additional high priority drill targets on the project. Drilling is slated to commence in the coming weeks.Survey methods:Field teams are using a G-859 Geometrics Cesium Vapor Magnetometer paired with a G-856AX Proton Procession magnetometer as a base station. Approximately 180-200 survey lines of 500 meters in length are planned at 25 meter spacing. This survey will cover the central portion of the trend of historic mine workings where the initial drill program will be focused. Additional surveys will be conducted across other prioritized areas in the coming months.Jason Gigliotti President of Sienna Resources states, \"We are very pleased with the pace and quality of the data being gathered to date on the Slättberg Cobalt-Nickel-Copper Project in Sweden. Field crews have diligently defined multiple new targets and we expect to be drilling in the coming weeks. We have just closed an oversubscribed placement for $2.5 million and we plan t...
