As soon as spring weather allows, Softrock Petroleums (STZ-A) will resume its exploration of diamond and nickel-copper-cobalt targets in West Greenland.
Early this year, the Calgary-based junior released details of last year’s work at its wholly owned Kangerlussuaq property, which comprises 206 sq. km.
The geophysical program is reported to have revealed several pipe-like anomalies, speculated to be kimberlitic diatremes.
The company says these bodies are lake-hosted (similar to those found in Canada’s Northwest Territories) and show up as circular resistivity lows correlating with weak to moderately strong magnetic anomalies.
The program also identified many anomalies with conductors believed to be typical of massive sulphide responses. The conductive zone has an apparent strike length of 8 km.
Recent studies confirm a close relationship of the Kangerlussuaq area with the Voisey’s Bay region of Labrador. The two areas were physically joined before they drifted apart as a result of the spreading of the sea floor.
Softrock intends to carry out follow-up geological and geophysical surveys this spring. The land package is 80 miles inland, a dozen miles from Greenland’s major airport. A core drilling program this year will test the diamond and nickel-copper-cobalt targets.
