The findings suggest the potential for additional
discoveries in this metals-laden district.
Group
Ten Metals Inc. (PGE:TSX.V; PGEZF:OTC) reported in a news release it intercepted platinum and palladium
mineralization at the Chrome Mountain and East Boulder targets at Stillwater
West, its flagship project.
These results are from 2018 Stillwater exploration programs, historical
data analyses and modeling.
The mineralization "is associated with two major electromagnetic
geophysical conductors that are approximately 2.9 and 2.6 kilometers in
length respectively and correspond with broad coincident soil and rock
geochemical anomalies," President and CEO Michael Rowley said in the
release.
The size of the targets suggests potential for "discovery of a major
new bulk tonnage 'Platreef-style' platinum group elements-nickel-copper
deposit," which is "geologically similar to those in the Bushveld
complex of South Africa."
The mineralization at Chrome Mountain starts at surface and includes nine
intervals of more than 100 meters (100m) in thickness with a grade thickness
of more than 100 gram meter total platinum equivalent. Six holes intersected
more than 200m of a grade thickness of 200–294 gram meter platinum
equivalent.
Rock sampling at Chrome Mountain returned up to 16 grams per ton (16 g/t)
of 3E (8.72 g/t platinum, 7.25 g/t palladium and 0.03 g/t gold.)
