NEWS ROUNDUP — Freewest reports find near Sudbury

Montreal-based Freewest Resources Canada (FWR-T) has discovered a platinum-palladium-copper-nickel showing at its wholly owned Folson Lake property in Gerow Twp., 80 km west of Sudbury, Ont.

The 320-ha property covers part of the East Bull Lake intrusion, which is 20 km long, up to 4 km wide, and at least 800 metres thick. Freewest carried out a stripping, blasting and sampling program to follow up results of 3.2 grams palladium, 1.4 grams platinum, 3.4 grams silver and 0.2 gram gold per tonne obtained from grab samples when the claims were staked.

In the recent program, 37 grab and chip samples were collected from three blast trenches, all of which returned anomalous platinum and palladium values, as well as anomalous silver, gold, copper and nickel. The best sample returned 6.6 grams palladium, 2.8 grams platinum, 8.3 grams silver, 0.3 gram gold, 1.79% copper and 0.66% nickel. The showing is open in all directions.

Freewest says it is “excited by the discovery” and that it plans to carry out a follow-up program of linecutting, mapping, geophysical surveys, trenching and drilling.
