Mr. Harvey Keats of Donner Minerals reports
A total of 1,831m has been drilled in three holes (97-92, 98-107 and 98-109) on
thee Major General/Donner joint venture. A fourth hole (98-112) is in progress to
test a discrete gravity anomaly. Hole 97-92 was deepened from 372m to 1097m
and remained in gabbro to its termination depth. It has been interpreted that hole
97-92 encountered a 200m - 300m wide, north-south striking, sub-vertical feeder
dyke. Hole 97-107 was drilled to 547m and hole 98-109 was completed at
559m. All three holes were drilled from the same collar location.
Hole 98-107 drilled at -60 degrees to the southwest and hole 98-109 drilled at
-60 degrees, at azimuth 080 degrees, both encountered a thickened unit of gabbro
before intersecting the underlying gneiss. Hole 98-107 encountered contaminated
and mineralized olivine gabbro, including 0.2m of massive sulphide containing
particularly anomalous concentrations of nickel and copper. Significantly, both
holes encountered several narrow gabbroic dykes, including one 12m wide, within
the gneiss. These dykes are interpreted as offshoots from the main feeder
identified in 97-92 and possible conduits for nickel-copper sulphides to the base
of the olivine gabbro.
The identification of a feeder and related dykes is an important step towards
understanding the South Voisey Bay project and will help focus the exploration for
a significant thickness of massive sulphides at the base of the olivine gabbro and
within the feeder dykes.
PEM has identified a strong anomaly in the southwest corner of the Major
General/Donner area and the adjacent Northern Abitibi/Donner ground,
southwest of the 0.2m thick massive sulphide intersection in 98-107.
