East Range

  • Overview

    The East Range properties are being explored for copper, nickel and PGM in the footwall to Vale's Victor-Capre projects, Glencore's Nickel Rim South mine, and KGHM International's Podolsky mine. They include the 62% Wallbridge-owned Frost Lake JV with Glencore, the 50% Wallbridge-owned Capreol JV with Vale and Glencore, and the 100% Wallbridge-owned Drill Lake and Victor East properties.

    Cu-PGM mineralization occurs at Frost Lake within the roughly 100 metre wide by 600 metre long Amy Lake PGM Zone discovered by Wallbridge in 2000. Significant drill intersections included 0.86 g/t Pt+Pd+Au over 48.4 m (Hole WC-013) and 0.51 g/t Pt-Pd+Au over 75.48 m (Hole WC-038) with higher-grade subintervals. Drilling has outlined (to a depth of ~150 metres) a low sulphide zone consisting of disseminations, patches and stringers of chalcopyrite, millerite and pyrite accompanied by strong hydrothermal veining, partially melted Sudbury breccia cutting older lithologies and pervasive epidote and actinolite alteration.

    The Amy Lake PGM Zone is hosted within the same Sudbury breccia structure as Vale's Capre deposit located ~600 metres to the south. This Sudbury breccia structure extends for about 2 kilometres on the Frost Lake property. A hole drilled deep below the zone indicates that the controlling Sudbury breccia structure extends to greater than 1.2 kilometres depth and much of this breccia belt remains untested.

    Wallbridge discovered a zone of Archean ultramafic-hosted Ni-Cu mineralization in 2006 on the Frost Lake property. Drill hole WC-024 intersected semi-massive sulphide along the southwestern contact of the ultramafic body containing 0.48% Ni and 0.27% Cu over 16.0 m with higher grade sub-intervals. The ultramafic body was mapped on surface over a strike length of almost 1 kilometre and width of ~100 metres.
