Nordic Nickel Progressing Hotinvaara Diamond Drilling Program

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Nordic Nickel (ASX: NNL) will no doubt be keen on conversation at next week’s RIU Explorers Conference around a drilling program it currently has underway at the company’s Pulju nickel project in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) of northern Finland.

Nordic Nickel commenced diamond drilling at Pulju in January within the historically defined Hotinvaara Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) area.

Two rigs are in operation at the project, with the first drillhole completed and two more progressing as planned.

The company said its visual observation of the drill core indicates widespread sulphide mineralisation and increases the known footprint of prospective host rocks.

“An exciting start to our drilling at Hotinvaara, with visual analysis of the drill core confirming broad intercepts of sulphide mineralisation and indicating an expanded footprint of prospective host rock units,” Nordic Nickel managing director Todd Ross said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“We are now eagerly awaiting assay results, which are expected to be received within the next eight to ten weeks.

“These initial drill holes will help enhance our understanding of the broader geology at Hotinvaara to plan ongoing drilling and exploration programs over the next 14 months.”
