Canada’s Magna Mining has announced that it recently commissioned a second drill rig to accelerate exploration drilling at previously identified regional targets on the Shakespeare nickel project which is located some 70 km south-west of Sudbury, in the country’s state of Ontario.
“The second rig was moved to site early this month, and recently began drilling at the Company's Spanish River Mine Option … [which is] located 1 km south-west of the recent P-4 nickel discovery,” the business said in a statement.
The first drill rig of the 2022 drill programme at Shakespeare began last January and the company is currently drilling the P-4 Nickel target which was discovered during the 2021 regional exploration drill programme, according to Magna Mining.
This company “is to complete an initial 2500m of drilling to further test the EM plate associated with the discovery hole, as well as the prospective trend of over 400m of strike length to the east. The Company expects this drilling to be completed in early April, with assay results coming out later that month,” the statement said.
