This hole is located approximately 320 metres south of hole No. 1 which was stopped in gabbro at 560 metres. No visible nickel-copper mineralization was encountered in hole No. 1. Satellite, Labrador The EM (electromagnetic) geophysical survey of Major General's 100-per-cent-owned Satellite property west of Sarah Lake is under way and should be completed by Sept. 25. Unlike the black graphitic, conductive gabbro rocks at Sarah which host the nickel/copper/cobalt mineralization, the Satellite host gabbro is not conductive. The EM survey should prove to be an effective geophysical aid for locating conductive minerals such as nickel, copper and cobalt. Victoria Island At the Victoria Island, Nunavut, diamond exploration property, art airborne magnetic survey covering 1,400 line kilometres has been completed. Crews have now finished this year's exploration program which included extensive till sampling, ground magnetic and kimberlite sampling programs.
