High-grade Ni-Cu-Pt-Pd-Au-Ag-Rh-Cr-V discoveries in the "Ring of Fire" NI 43-101 Update (March 2011): 11.0 Mt @ 1.78% Ni, 0.98% Cu, 0.99 gpt Pt and 3.41 gpt Pd and 0.20 gpt Au (M&I) / 9.0 Mt @ 1.10% Ni, 1.14% Cu, 1.16 gpt Pt and 3.49 gpt Pd and 0.30 gpt Au (Inf.)

From todays news release:

Hole NOT-08-44 is approximately 70 meters vertically below hole NOT-08-28 & 32 previously reported (see press release dated May 8, 2008), which both returned significant core widths of copper-nickel and PGM mineralization from the Eagle One Deposit.
The most recently completed hole in this program, NOT-08-44, entered the peridotite conduit at 294.2 meters and returned 28.5 meters of copper-nickel sulphide mineralization to 322.7 meters where the hole left the peridotite conduit and continued in granodiorite until its end at 375.0 meters

Just a little bit longer now baby...

From May's news release:

Hole NOT-07-28 was set at the same collar location as hole NOT-07-26. After 14.8 meters of overburden and limestone, this hole entered a mafic dike until 17.8 meters. Between 17.8 and 128.1 the hole entered granodiorite, followed by an olivine rich gabbro until 140.1 meters. Variably mineralized peridotite was encountered between 140.1 to 242.2 meters, including mineralized peridotite between 169 and 175 meters, followed by net textured mineralized peridotite between 175 and 217 meters, followed by massive sulphides between 217 and 218.5 meters, then net textured peridotite from 218.5 to 223.2 meters. The latter part of the peridotite was weakly mineralized. The hole then entered granodiorite at 242.2 and remained in granodiorite until 253 meters, when the hole was stopped.

NOT-08-32 was drilled at local grid collar location 12+47 N at 49+74 E with an initial azimuth of 090 degrees and an initial dip of -45 degrees. This hole initially passed through 11.1 meters of overburden, limestone and sandstone, and then entered granodiorite with two thin mafic dikes until 182.2 meters down-hole. Massive sulphide mineralization was encountered between 182.2 to 198.7 meters, including highly altered, silicified quartz feldspar porphyry between 190.4 and 196.1 meters. The massive sulphide zone was then followed by variably mineralized peridotite and net textured peridotite until 248.2 meters down-hole when the hole entered granodiorite. The hole was stopped at 266 meters total depth
