Inomin Mines (MINE) has begun a ground magnetic survey at MINE’s Lynx nickel property in south-central British Columbia.

The survey comprises 228 line kilometres (km) across the Bear and Skulow zones, two large 2 x 3 km sulphide nickel targets.

Magnetics surveys in its Beaver block located 11 km north of Lynx of the Beaver-Lynx project have proven very effective at delineating magnetite-serpentinite rocks hosting nickel-cobalt mineralization.

At Beaver, airborne and ground magnetic surveys have identified five magnetite-serpentinite zones with a cumulative strike length of approximately 10 kilometres.

Historic drilling at these zones intersected strongly magnetic shallow-dipping serpentinites hosting nickel mineralization in sulphide form.

The Lynx area is geologically similar to Beaver with even larger prospective targets areas. RGS (regional stream sediment) data collected by the Province of British Columbia illustrates the existence of a large 10 x 5-kilometre nickel anomaly at Lynx.

An airborne magnetic survey delineated an 8 kilometre-wide ring-like magnetic anomaly and several strong magnetic anomalies – all greater than 2 kilometres in length.

Given the positive drill results related to areas of significant magnetite-rich serpentinite rocks in the Beaver property, Lynx displays the potential to host multiple zones of large, disseminated, sulphide nickel. Cobalt occurs with nickel mineralization in the Beaver property.

Inomin’s 100 per cent owned Beaver-Lynx project, approximately 20,000 hectares in size, is located 15 – 25 kilometres east and southeast respectively of Taseko Mines Ltd.’s Gibraltar Mine in British Columbia’s Cariboo Mining Region.

The topography of the properties is relatively flat and easily accessible via all-season roads as well as a network of forestry roads providing access to most of the properties. Other important nearby infrastructure includes electricity (hydro) and railroad.

Skilled workers, contractors, and suppliers are available locally from the city of Williams Lake situated about 20 kilometres south of Lynx.

Inomin is seeking a joint venture partner for the Beaver-Lynx project in order to test the property’s multiple large zones for sulphide (class 1) nickel and cobalt.

The project is prospective for near-surface, bulk-tonnage style, nickel-cobalt deposits. Nickel and cobalt are critical metals for Canada and the United States, essential for the countries’ growing infrastructure and clean energy requirements.

Inomin Mines is focused on the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with strong potential to host significant resources, especially gold, silver and nickel projects.

Inomin holds the La Gitana and Pena Blanca gold-silver properties in Mexico. It owns a 100 per cent interest in the Beaver-Lynx sulphide nickel project in south-central British Columbia, and the Fleetwood zinc-copper-gold-silver VMS project in southwest British Columbia.
