[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, June 28, 2022 /CNW/ - Voltage Metals Corp., (\"Voltage\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: VOLT) (OTC: VLTMF) is pleased to announce that it has completed a diamond drill program at the Company's 100% owned St. Laurent Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project, located 160 km northeast of Timmins, Ontario. The drilling consisted of 2,460 metres in seven holes, with downhole geophysical surveys completed on six of the seven holes. A total of 570 samples, representing 800 metres of core were split for analysis. All samples have been shipped to the lab, with results expected periodically over the next eight weeks. The St. Laurent Project has received minimal exploration activity since the initial work in the mid 1960's when nickel-copper mineralization was first identified in a limited number of shallow drill holes. Subsequent airborne geophysical surveys defined a strong electromagnetic (EM) anomaly with an associated bullseye magnetic response, both of which are coincident with the reported disseminated mineralized zone. Diamond drilling in 2008 and 2019 identified geological characteristics indicative of gabbro breccia/conduit hosted nickel mineralization similar to the Lynn Lake Deposit (28.4 million tons @ 0.91% Ni, 0.49% Cu) the Kenbridge deposit (7.5 million tonnes @ 0.58% Ni, 0.32% Cu), and the Montcalm Deposit (3.9 million tonnes @ 1.3% Ni, 0.67% Cu, 0.05 Co). The recently completed drill program followed up on the results of the 2019 diamond drilling, where the highest nickel grades on the project were intersected with three separate intervals of >1.0% Ni, as well as the widest intersection (113.4 m) of lower grade nickel mineralization, Table 1. Nickel assays in conjunction with the associated sulphur results indicate a high nickel tenor1 of 5% Ni for massive sulphides (35% S) in the magmatic system. Two priority Borehole EM anomalies from the 2019 program and a deeper Heligeotem II Anomaly modelled from a 2007 Survey were also targeted in this drill program.
