Creighton South Property The Creighton South property is strategically located southwest of the embayment that hosts CVRD Inco's giant Creighton Mine. It covers a large section of South Range footwall rocks adjacent to Wallbridge's Graham property, which is a joint venture with Xstrata Nickel.The property straddles the South Range Breccia Belt ("SRBB"), a belt of Sudbury Breccia inferred to be continuous for 45 kilometres from Frood-Stobie Mine in the east to the mined out Vermillion deposit in the west. Both these deposits had significant PGE contents.A second belt of intense brecciation was discovered in 2003, which trends directly back towards the highly mineralized Creighton Embayment and was named the Creighton South Breccia Belt. Mapping and prospecting programs on the Creighton South property discovered numerous occurrences of copper-PGE mineralization related to quartz sulphide veins associated with extensive zones of Sudbury Breccia on the central and eastern portions of the property. Detailed field work expanded the aerial extent of irregular to sheet-like bodies of igneous rock with compositions identical to Offset Dykes that are related to the formation of the SIC. These sheet-like bodies are interpreted to extend at depth towards the SIC contact beneath Vale Inco's Gertrude open pit mine and further demonstrate the high prospectivity of the property. A deep drill hole is planned to test these sheet-like bodies where they are projected to intersect a deep geophysical target. |
