Timmins Nickel hits on Langmuir property

Recent drilling by Timmins Nickel (TSE) on the Langmuir No. 1 deposit, four miles east of the company’s Redstone mine, has intersected 3.44% nickel over a true width of 40 ft. The intersection came from the second of two underground drill holes completed recently as part of a program to confirm the property’s known minable reserves of 187,475 tons grading 1.8% nickel. The first hole of the program yielded 4 ft. grading 2.78% nickel, and drilling is still under way with another 2,000 ft. planned.

The company said the drill results confirm and enhance the earlier work completed by Noranda and the deposit remains open downrake to the north. Dewatering of the Langmuir No. 1 ramp, which comes within 250 ft. of the deposit, was also completed recently, the company said.
