Probe Mines announced that the Phase II diamond drilling on the Probe-Noront Resources Joint Venture Project’s Black Creek high-grade chromite discovery in the McFauld’s Lake area of the James Bay Lowlands in Ontario, Canada, has been completed. The program consisted of 11 drill holes totaling over 1,700m and was successful in extending the strike length of the massive chromite horizon to 200m. The zone still remains open in all directions. The chromite horizon was intersected in all 11 holes drilled and ranges from 63.6m wide to 15m wide, with an average of almost 40m in all holes drilled to date (not true width). To date, the zone has only been tested to approximately 200m vertical depth and appears to maintain a relatively consistent width in each section. In addition, the zone was also traced to near-surface depths of approximately 25m, suggesting that the chromite horizon projects to the bedrock surface and is a likely candidate for open pit extraction.
