Montcalm Target
The 11 claim (145 unit, 2,320 hectares) Montcalm property, located 65 km northwest of Timmins, is adjacent to Xstrata Nickel's producing Montcalm mine and covers 4 km of the interpreted strike extension of the host geology, with only two known historic boreholes within that trend.
A 2009 drill program totalling 1,530 m was completed to test a number of UTEM anomalies with no significant results. Given that there is virtually zero outcrop exposure on the property, exploration must rely almost entirely on geophysics, in particular electromagnetic surveys such as UTEM. Any conductors detected could be indicative of a sulphide body similar to the Montcalm orebody and therefore represent valid exploration targets. There remain numerous untested conductors, including the three targets which were not drilled during the 2009 winter program due to the harsh winter conditions. The untested conductors remain of interest and may be drilled at a later date.
