Resources Appalaches extends B-20

Trenching and pitting by junior Ressources Appalaches (APP-M) has extended known surface mineralization on its B-20 nickel-copper-cobalt property near Port-Cartier, Que., by more than 1 km.

The company has uncovered six new nickel, copper and cobalt showings that are coincident with previously identified geophysical conductors. Mineralization comprises nickel, copper and cobalt sulphides in pyroxenite and anorthosite.

Thirty-five channel samples and five grab samples were collected from five trenches and three pits. The richest zone occurs in trench 4, where continuous channel sampling returned assays of 0.27% nickel and 0.2% copper over 6.85 metres, including a 2.85-metre zone of 0.41% nickel and 0.3% copper over 2.85 metres.

Based on the latest results, Appalaches has defined a mineralized corridor about 2.5 km long. This suggests that a significant quantity of sulphur was produced during the emplacement of the anorthositic complex.

The company has budgeted $1 million to investigate the new mineralized zones at greater depth.

Previous drilling on the property returned several intervals running more than 0.75% nickel and 0.5% copper. The holes were aimed at testing a shallow, northeasterly trending geophysical conductor that is coincident with a known surface showing.

The holes cut multiple horizons of mineralized pyroxenite over more than 1 km. Individual horizons were up to 50 metres thick.
