First Point Doubles the Size of Decar Nickel Project to 132
Square Kilometres
=======================================================================
First Point Minerals Corp. (FPX:TSX:V) has more than doubled its claim
position at the Decar nickel alloy property in central British
Columbia. Another 6,915 hectares have been added to the northwest of
the original 6,268 hectares for a total land position of 13,183
hectares, or 132 square kilometers of contiguous claims. The claims
now cover the full extent of the ultramafic belt that hosts of the
Decar naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy mineralization.
Mineralization on the Decar property consists of 0.1 to 0.24%
nickel-iron alloy which occurs as disseminated grains that average 75%
nickel, 23% iron and minor amounts of cobalt and copper. Two main
targets have been identified on the property within an area measuring
4,500 meters by 1,300 meters that contains visible disseminated grains
of nickel-iron alloy. The Sidney target, located on a flat-topped
ridge, occurs 600 meters vertically above the Baptiste target which
occurs in a valley to the south of Sidney. This suggests that
mineralization may be distributed over a significant vertical dimension
indicating good potential for a bulk target.
Details of this property and the unique mineralization are presented
at: http://www.firstpointminerals.com/i/pdf/Decar_Presentation.pdf.
Metallurgical work is continuing and early season mapping and sampling
will begin as soon as snow conditions allow.
