Manitou Gold Inc (MTU) has completed its maiden three-hole drill program at its Goudreau Project and confirms a significant nickel discovery.

Preliminary results are from the first two drill holes that tested an ultramafic intrusion measuring 850 metres long and 200-300 metres wide.

All three drill holes intersected continuously serpentinized and mineralized intervals of ultramafic rocks more than 200 metres.

Broad intersections of nickel and cobalt provide confirmation of a significant nickel-cobalt discovery.

Highlights:

  • 252.1 metres grading 0.25 per cent Ni and 99 ppm Co was intersected in hole MTU-22-19, drilled 500 metres west of discovery hole MTU-22-14
  • 208.2 metres grading 0.25% Ni and 119 ppm Co intersected in hole MTU-22-18, drilled 900 metres west of the discovery hole
