A 10-hole drill program on the St. Maurice project, near La Tuque, Que., has revealed low nickel grades on four exploration targets.
Troymin Resources (TYR-M) drilled two holes on the Rochette West showings — two occurrences where surface grab samples showed grades of 0.46% to 4.81% nickel. In two holes drilled across strike on one of the showings, the best intersection was a 2.9-metre core length grading 0.16% nickel.
The program also tested three anomalies found by magnetic and electromagnetic surveys. The holes drilled on the anomalies intersected massive-to-disseminated pyrrhotite zones over core lengths generally less than 1 metre. The pyrrhotite, which occurs in narrow ultramafic dyke rocks and in paragneiss (strongly foliated, metamorphosed sediments), is believed to have been partly remobilized from the paragneiss and partly emplaced along with the ultramafic dykes.
Ground magnetic and electromagnetic surveys will be carried out in preparation for a second phase of drilling. The second set of holes will also test downdip and along strike from the narrow intersection at Rochette West.
