The target was then successfully intercepted by using directional drilling.”Drill Holes: Objectives, Design and ResultsAs part of the winter 2020 exploration program, the Company initially drilled hole 16TK0233B. The objective of this hole was to investigate an area between previous drill holes 16TK0233A and 16TK0246, which represents a 50 meter stretch where there has been no previous drilling (see Figure 2).Drill hole 16TK0233A previously intersected 9 meters of MMS from 508 meters grading 4.94% Ni, 2.08% Cu, 1.00 g/t PGE's and 0.24 g/t Au (6.12% NiEq[1]) (see press release dated September 2, 2016), and drill hole 16TK0246 previously intersected 4.36 meters of MMS grading 5.13% Ni, 2.12% Cu, 1.17 g/t PGE's and 0.29 g/t Au from 529 meters (6.39% NiEq) (see press release dated November 21, 2016). Drill hole 16TK0233B was designed to intercept the MMS hosted by the sediment wedge which is a hornfelsed meta-sedimentary unit sandwiched between the Fine Grained Orthocumulate/Mixed Zone (\"FGO/MZNO\") and Coarse Grained Orthocumulate (\"CGO\"). The location within this sediment wedge is an important factor when targeting the MSU: too close to the junction between the FGO/CG...
