Quebec Nickel Corp. updates Ducros Group nickel-copper-PGE Project, Abitibi Québec
Quebec Nickel Corp. is reporting on its exploration activities on its 100%-owned Ducros Group Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, located in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt of northwestern Québec.
1,717-line kilometre VTEMTM (Geotech) Airborne Geophysical System Survey
Further to the Company's press release dated November 25, 2021, the survey crew and system have mobilized to its base of operations at Lebel-sur-Quévillon, and the 1,717-line kilometre VTEMTM (Geotech) airborne geophysical survey is underway over the Ducros Group Nickel-Copper-PGE Project. The late survey start-up has been due to unprecedented delays due to contractor scheduling issues related to severe weather conditions and crew, system, and equipment availability.
Mr. David Patterson, CEO of QNI, commented: "We are extremely excited to finally announce the start-up of this long-awaited, state-of-the-art, high-definition airborne electromagnetic-magnetic survey over the entire Ducros Group property claim group. This phase of work marks a significant new milestone in the evolution of QNI's strategic exploration and development plan over the property, moving forward into 2022."
Based on the survey data interpretation results, selective follow-up ground-truthing geophysical surveying and prospecting/sampling will be conducted over high-priority electromagnetic conductors spatially associated with positive magnetic anomalies. The primary objective of this work is to identify new Ni-Cu-PGE drill targets associated with untested mafic-ultramafic intrusions over the significant Ducros Group property holdings within areas of limited exploration work and thick overburden cover.
