ONTARIO – Noront Resources of Thunder Bay, ON, continues to test the footwall contact that hosts the Eagle’s Nest nickel-copper-platinum-palladium deposit near McFaulds Lake.

The same surveys are being implemented over area 6 that covers the basal contact of the Black Thor chromite deposit. The previous owner drilled the basal contact with results such as 1.6% Ni and 1.2% Cu over 1.8 metres and 5.7% Ni and 0.2% Cu over 0.35 metre.

Of interest is the virtually unexplored footwall contact. Six months of geophysical tests are planned to be followed by drilling on quality EM targets that are identified.
