SPC Nickel (TSX-V:SPC) is assessing geophysics data after and completing quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) work on results from its 2025 field program at the Muskox Project in Canada.
Speaking to Mining.com.au, CEO Grant Mourre says SPC Nickel has a clear exploration strategy for 2026, including further drilling at its Muskox and Lockerby East projects.
At Muskox, two airborne surveys were conducted and samples collected at a series of showings that the company had looked at previously that were known.
But in this case, Mourre says SPC Nickel did something a little bit different and we brought up a diamond bladed channel saw, which allowed it to cut the fresh material out that the company was unable to before.
“And you know the results kind of speak for themselves and really show why we are excited about this project,” the CEO tells this news service.
“You know some of the results that came out in copper equivalents are fantastic – 70%-plus copper equivalents at surface in multiple spots.”
“It’s just not from one outcrop, it’s from multiple outcrops that span a distance of 20, 30km. So great mineralisation over big areas, which is always a good sign when you’re doing this sort of exploration.”
As reported by this news service, recent results confirm widespread copper, nickel, and platinum group metal mineralisation occurring across multiple geological environments within the 125km-long Muskox intrusion.
In October, a 1,000m diamond drilling began at Lockerby East, evaluating the potential for a new nickel-copper-platinum group metals discovery. The program, which represents the first modern drill testing of the deeper portions of the Lockerby East mineralised system, is designed to test a series of high-conductivity electromagnetic anomalies.
