[{"type":"text","content":"SPC Nickel Announces Commencement of a Spartan MT Geophysical Program at its Aer-Kidd ProjectSudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2021) - SPC Nickel Corp. (TSXV: SPC) (\"SPC Nickel\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce that a Spartan ground magnetotelluric (\"MT\") survey, consisting of 34 sites to be conducted by Quantec Geoscience, (the \"Survey\") has commenced at the Company's Aer-Kidd Project located in Sudbury, Ontario. The Survey will focus on the east portion of the property where the Worthington Offset dyke is projected to extend beneath Perch Lake. The objective of the Survey is to highlight areas of increased conductivity that maybe related to sulphide mineralization hosted within the Worthington Offset dyke. The results of the Survey will be incorporated into the existing geological model and will be used to delineate drill target areas.An extensive zone of amphibolite-bearing inclusion quartz diorite (AIQD), the primary host for massive sulphide mineralization on the Worthington Offset dyke, is interpreted to exist beneath Perch Lake. The AIQD zone has been intersected by 5 historic drill hole and is interpreted to extend from surface down to a vertical depth in excess of 1,500 metres. Four shallow historic drill holes completed by Crowflight Minerals Inc in 2001 reported well developed zones of AIQD containing large amphibolite fragments (up to 15.7 metres in diameter) and stringers of sulphide mineralization. These features all occur above 100 metres vertical depth. A single deep hole tested the Worthington Offset dyke at a vertical depth of 1,550 metres and intersected well developed AIQD. What is MT?Magnetotellurics (MT) is a long-established electromagnetic geophysical method which provides accurate sub-surface data for reliable geological interpretations. MT measures the earths' subsurface electrical conductivity using the natural geomagnetic and geoelectric field variations in the earth. MT utilizes the electrical fields generated by lightning discharges from thunderstorms that propagate through the sub-surface. MT is akin to conventional resistivity and electromagnetic surveys but incorporates magnetic fields to further help determine electrical heterogeneities between the earth and the audio frequencies.
