Canadian gold producer Hemlo Mining has announced findings from its 2025 B-Zone exploration drilling programme at the Hemlo Gold Mine near Marathon, Ontario. The latest drilling results have extended mineralisation at the mine by 400m in depth and identified a new mineralised zone within the Cedar Creek area. The mineral resource conversion drilling has enhanced geological certainty and is anticipated to facilitate a possible increase in indicated mineral resources around 100m beneath current mining lev ...

Core Viewpoint - Giga Metals Corp. is launching a fully funded spring field program to advance exploration in the Attic Zone of the Turnagain Project, which is promising for copper, platinum, and palladium mineralization [1][5]. Group 1: Spring Program Details - The spring program aims to build on the successful results from the previous year's magnetotelluric (MT) survey, which effectively mapped the ultramafic intrusion [2][4]. - An integrated MT-EM approach will be employed to systematically explore previously underexplored areas within the Attic Zone to significant depths [4]. - Fieldwork is expected to commence in June, with results anticipated later in the summer [5]. Group 2: Project Background - The Turnagain Project, located in northern British Columbia, contains one of the few significant undeveloped sulphide nickel and cobalt resources globally [6]. - The Attic Zone is adjacent to the known nickel resource and is also prospective for copper, platinum, and palladium mineralization [7]. Group 3: Technical Aspects - The expanded MT coverage will include three additional MT lines, bringing the total to five, which will help define the search volume for conductors within the ultramafic intrusion [9]. - A ground electromagnetic (EM) survey will also be conducted to detect conductive bodies within or at the margins of the intrusion, with technical parameters being finalized [9].
