Seems there's lots of "stumbling" on PGE deposits recently. Positive announcement today from KRM on one of their resource holdings in Finland.
RESAMPLING CONFIRMS AND EXTENDS MINERALISATION ON THE AP REEF, PENIKAT PGE-NICKEL-COPPER PROJECT
Kingsrose Mining Limited (ASX: KRM) (“Kingsrose” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from an initial core resampling program at the Penikat PGE-nickel-copper project, Finland. A total of 171 samples were collected from nine historical diamond drill holes from the AP Reef to confirm and verify historical drill data (Figures 1 to 3).
Highlights
• Resampling confirms historical high-grade drilling intercepts of palladium, platinum, gold, nickel and copper mineralisation, including:
o 8.8 metres at 11.1 g/t PdEq (8.1 g/t Pd, 2.3 g/t Pt, 0.5 g/t Au, 0.5 % Cu, 0.4 % Ni) from surface (SI/KI-034)
• HolesSI/KI-456andSI/KI-457werenotassayedhistoricallyforPGE.Resamplingreturnedsignificant PGE mineralisation in both holes, extending thick near surface mineralisation by 20 metres to the north and indicating that it is open along strike (Figure 2):
o 4.0 metres at 6.8 g/t PdEq (3.9 g/t Pd, 1.2 g/t Pt, 0.4 g/t Au, 0.8 % Cu, 0.3 % Ni) from 3.2 metres (SI/KI-456)
o 13 metres at 2.3 g/t PdEq (1.8 g/t Pd, 0.6 g/t Pt, 0.1 g/t Au, 0.1 % Cu) from 0.8 metres (SI/KI-457), including
? 4.3 metres at 4.0 g/t PdEq (3.1 g/t Pd, 0.9 g/t Pt, 0.1 g/t Au, 0.1 % Cu) from 3.7 metres and
? 0.4 metres at 11.1 g/t PdEq (8.2 g/t Pd, 2.9 g/t Pt, 0.5 g/t Au, 0.4 % Cu, 0.1 % Ni) from 12.7 metres
• Mineralisation in hole SI/KI-038 is thicker than historically reported. An historical intercept of 5.2 metres at 3.2 g/t PdEq (2.4 g/t Pd, 0.6 g/t Pt, 0.1 g/t Au, 0.1 % Cu) has been extended to:
o 10.0 metres at 3.1 g/t PdEq (2.4 g/t Pd, 0.7 g/t Pt, 0.1 g/t Au, 0.1 % Cu) from 0.7 metres • Surface rock-chip sampling of the AP Reef returned outstanding results of up to 29.6 g/t PdEq (22.5
g/t Pd, 6.7 g/t Pt, 1.1 g/t Au, 0.9 % Cu, 0.4 Ni), further confirming the location and high-grades
Fabian Baker, Kingsrose Managing Director, commented “These results further validate our conviction that the grades and thickness of mineralisation at Penikat represents the opportunity to define a globally significant PGE-nickel-copper project. With many kilometres of near-surface mineralisation defined by historical work, we believe depth extensions will be confirmed through future drilling to define a multi-million ounce deposit.”
