Current Operations

Two Premier Properties

William Lake :

Location - The William Lake property surrounds William Lake in west-central Manitoba and is approximately 30 km northwest of Lake Winnipeg. The property claims lie between 70 and 110 kilometres north of the town of Grand Rapids.

Property Status – The property is 100% Company owned and is comprised of 147 claims covering 31,057 hectares.

Exploration - Xstrata through its precursor entity, Falconbridge, carried out a successful nickel exploration program during the period of 1989 to 2002 which included airborne and ground geophysical surveys and 260 diamond drill holes.

Winter 2008 Drill Program resulted in the discovery of a significant new mineralized zone comparable to the styles of mineralization and stratigraphic thickness typical in the Thompson Nickel Belt.

Reviewing the current exploration status of all the projects in Pure Nickel’s portfolio the William Lake Project is the most advanced property based on the exploration activity (primarily drilling) and results (potentially economic grade and width).  The William Lake project has consistently returned economic grade/width intersections with the previous drilling programs. 

MAN Alaska:

    • 720 km2 project area; 100% Company owned.
    • Widespread high-grade nickel-copper-platinum group element (Ni-Cu-PGE)   showings up to 15.4% Ni, 7.19% Cu, 170 g/t PGE+ Au+Ag.
    • Excellent infrastructure
    •  Four major Triassic ultramafic-mafic intrusive complexes host Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization: Alpha, Beta, Canwell, Rainy.
    •  Joint venture opportunities now under consideration.

Location - The MAN project is located approximately 266 kilometres southeast of Fairbanks and 402 kilometres northeast of Anchorage along the southern flank of the Alaska Range.

Access - The Richardson and Denali highways traverse the southeast portion and southern perimeter respectively of the project area.

Property Status - The MAN project comprises 2,966 State and Federal mining claims and prospecting sites encompassing an area of 74,051 hectares.

Exploration - The MAN project has greatly benefited from well-documented work programs by ACNC (American Copper and Nickel Company), Fort Knox and MAN Resources starting in 1991.

 

In May 2007 Pure Nickel conducted a VTEM B-Field airborne geophysical survey over the Alpha, Beta and East Rainy complexes of Pure Nickel’s MAN Alaska project area. From July 17, 2007 to October 3, 2007, 14 drill holes were completed on the Alpha Complex. Most of the drill holes encountered extensive zones of disseminated Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides.   Summer 2008 drill program will focus on the Beta Complex where the targets are at relatively shallow depths with one area containing Ni Cu sulphide outcroppings.
