Core Viewpoint - Mink Ventures Corporation has initiated a winter diamond drill program at its Warren Ni Cu Co Property in Timmins, Ontario, with plans to transition to the Montcalm Ni Cu Co Property later in January [1]. Group 1: Warren Property Update - The primary focus of the drilling at the Warren Property is the "A" Zone, which shows high potential for nickel and copper, particularly enriched in copper at the surface [2]. - Recent exploration identified a significant Mise-a-la-Masse (MALAM) anomaly with a strike length of approximately 500 meters and a width of 200 meters, coinciding with surface trenches that exhibit substantial Cu, Ni, and Co values in semi-massive to massive sulphides [2]. - Geologists have re-evaluated the A Zone, indicating that the higher-grade mineralized zone is a broad, flat-lying body with a shallow plunge to the north, which was not adequately assessed by past inclined drilling [3]. Group 2: Additional Drilling Plans - The drill program will also test the North Zone, which has not been previously drilled, where grab samples returned values as high as 0.967% Ni and 0.07% Co [4]. - The "D" Zone will be included in the drilling program, characterized by a 50-meter wide, trenched sulphide-rich zone, with historical chip samples showing 0.5% Ni over 9.14 meters [4]. - Recent assays from summer prospecting efforts revealed anomalous copper values ranging from 0.216% to 0.252% and nickel values from 0.139% to 0.171% [4]. Group 3: Company Overview - Mink Ventures Corporation is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on critical minerals such as nickel, copper, and cobalt at its Warren and Montcalm projects in the Timmins area [8]. - The Montcalm Project is located adjacent to Glencore's former Montcalm Mine, which historically produced 3.93 million tonnes of ore grading 1.25% Ni, 0.67% Cu, and 0.051% Co [8]. - The Warren Ni Cu Co Project spans 1,130 hectares and is situated 35 kilometers from Montcalm, both projects being drill-ready and well-supported by infrastructure [8].
