Duluth Identifies Two New Mineralized Areas

 

TORONTO, ON - Duluth Metals Limited reported early results from the exploration program currently underway on Duluth's 100% owned exploration properties in the Duluth Complex, northeast Minnesota. The program has successfully identified two new mineralized areas, one consisting of platinum group element (PGE) mineralization on the East Shore properties which cover the eastern margin of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion (SKI), and a second consisting of copper-nickel-PGE mineralization within the Nickel Lake Macrodike (NLM). The program has consisted of geologic mapping, geochemistry, geophysics, and initial drill testing of targets on the properties which cover 8,850 acres of favorable geology adjacent to Duluth's Twin Metals Project. 

 It's exciting that at the very early stages of our exploration program we have confirmed mineralization in hotter portions of the geological system upstream from the multi-billion ton Twin Metals Minnesota deposits, commented Dean Peterson, Senior Vice President-Exploration of Duluth Metals.

Vern Baker, President of Duluth Metals commented, "We are pleased with the early drill results which have confirmed sulphide mineralization in two key areas of this massive geological system. We will be continuing with further extensive drilling in these two areas of mineralization. One of the key focal points of the next phase of drilling is the East Shore area where higher grade PGM values have been returned from both surface outcrop and preliminary drilling. In addition, the drilling in the Nickel Lake Macrodike has identified mineralization somewhat different to the known mineralization of the adjacent Twin Metals Project. We are currently following up with down-hole EMP geophysical surveys and intend to continue drilling into the spring with holes aimed at higher grade targets within deeper sections of the NLM.
