Muskox Minerals (MSK-V) has renewed drilling at the Muskox intrusion in Nunavut. This time, the holes are aimed at the Speers Northeast geophysical anomaly.
The Vancouver-based junior will sink four holes into the 2-km long conductor, which measures 300 metres in width. The holes will be collared from two setups spaced 400 metres apart.
Muskox believes the anomaly may reflect sulphides rich in copper and platinum group metals. A grab sample taken 500 metres to the southeast at the so-called Southeast Speers showing ran 43 grams palladium per tonne and nearly 7% copper, plus over half a gram each of platinum and gold and 0.11% nickel. Even better precious metals grades were yielded from less than a metre of core from an earlier drill hole.
Concurrently, Muskox will carry out 900-line kilometres of electromagetic-magnetometer surveying to extend coverage to the Keel Dyke, which represents the conduit through which magma passed to form the layered mafic pluton. The dyke ranges from 200 to 600 metres in width.
