Located in northern Saskatchewan, 20 km NW of Stony Rapids
Named for the Fond du Lac lake and river which lies across its southern border, the Fond Du Lac property is located on the northern edge of the Athabasca Basin
Property is comprised of four contiguous claims totaling 19,700 hectares
Historical mineral resource of 3,400,000 tons of 0.66% Ni and 0.60% Cu at the Axis Lake East Zone deposit alone (non NI 43-101 code compliant)
Exploration
Fond du Lac Claim Map
Pure Nickel has explored the property since 2005
2005 exploration included a 1600 metre VTEM survey and extensive soil geochemistry program
2006 exploration included 2342 metres of drilling with seven holes drilling to date shows Ni mineralization in 7 of 7 holes drilled including up to 1.86% Ni and 0.45% Cu
2007 exploration included 3,127 metres of drilling in 19 holes. Program established that:
the Rea Lake mineralized horizon has a strike length of at least 3 km. Hole RL-PNI-07-02 intersected 41 metres of 0.14% Cu and 0.15% Ni.
The Axis Lake East zone extends further east than previously recognized.
In 2008 Pure Nickel granted Geotech Ltd. permission to test its latest patented ZTEM (Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic System) on the property. The ZTEM system is an innovative airborne EM system which enables penetration and response at exploration depths of up to 2,000 metres.
The ZTEM results provided indication of a longer strike continuity of the known mineralized horizons, as compared to the VTEM results. Importantly for Pure Nickel, the ZTEM survey identified a new anomaly northwest of the known Axis Lake Ni-Cu mineralized horizon and south of Currie Lake.
