Drill program expanded at Foy

Vancouver — Armed with new geophysical data, Aurora Platinum (ARP-V) has increased the drill metres for its current program on the Foy nickel-copper-platinum-palladium property, near Sudbury, Ont.

An airborne geophysical survey has identified high-priority anomalies, prompting the junior to expand the drilling program to 8,000 metres from the originally budgeted 5,000 metres.

The program is testing a 500-metre strike length of anomalous mineralization associated with a radial feature known as the Foy Offset Dyke. Three holes are to be drilled to the 800-metre mark and surveyed using down-hole electromagnetics in order to explore for deeper-seated mineralization.

The company is drilling the second hole and reportedly has hit several pods, lenses and veins of disseminated and massive sulphide mineralization in both holes 1 and 2.

Mineralization consists of chalcopyrite, pentlandite and pyrrhotite hosted in a breccia containing clasts of norite and quartz diorite.

The junior is earning a 60% stake in both the Foy and nearby Footwall projects from Falconbridge (fl-t) by spending $6 million on exploration over three years.
