Nickel sulphides discovered in boulders in 1970's

    • Explored by Boliden, Nordic Resources and Wiking Minerals
    • 12 holes for 2,400m intersected nickel (average 0.4% Ni) with Copper (average 0.4% Cu) mineralization
    • Metamorphosed ultramafic sill-like intrusion into graphitic, sulphide-rich Karelian metasediment
    • Mineralisation is interpreted to be cumulative-style hosted in ultramafic peridotite and serpentinite
      • Many large global Ni deposits have a similar ultramafic component
      • Sulphidic sediments common with many higher-grade Ni deposits
    • Exploration to focus on extensions to known mineralisation and along-trend prioritised geophysical targets which have potential for high-grade Ni-Cu
