Nunavut, Pelly Bay Area

Pyroxenite hosted copper-nickel

The Diamonds North Tunerq nickel showing is located in the Pelly Bay area of Nunavut, a short distance southwest of the Amerik kimberlite showings operated by Diamonds North.  I spent approximately a month overseeing an RC drilling program which involved logging, mapping, 3D AutoCAD work and report writing.

 

The mineralization is hosted in a mafic-ultramafic intrusive containing variable amounts of disseminated to net textured to massive pyrrhotite & chalcopyrite.  Assay results were as high as 2.49% Ni and 0.56% Cu over 9.1m.
