Murchison is also awaiting a drilling permit and has submitted a metallurgical sample for preliminary tests.
Murchison Minerals Ltd. (TSXV:MUR) reported significant assay results from its June prospecting program at the PYC target on the HPM property in Quebec. The data showcased widespread nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization across a 1.7 km strike length. Notably, assay grades reached 1.27% Nickel Equivalent and 2.59% Copper Equivalent. Murchison plans a fall drill program to further explore the PYC target, which has shown promising thickness and potential for large-tonnage mineralization. The project is situated near existing infrastructure, enhancing its viability.
Murchison Minerals Ltd. announced positive findings from preliminary metallurgical testing at its 100%-owned Brabant-McKenzie Zn-Cu-Ag Deposit in Saskatchewan. A simple flotation test upgraded zinc from 9.13% to 27%, achieving a 98% recovery rate. Further testing produced a zinc concentrate of 50.2%, with 85.06% recovery. Copper tests showed similar success, enhancing the grade to 4.12% with a 74.7% recovery. CEO Jean-Charles Potvin expressed optimism about the project's economic viability, noting minimal capital and operational expenditures due to the efficient processes.
