Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2023) - Avante Mining Corp. (TSXV: AVA) ("Avante" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce that it has intersected a 24-metre interval with visible sulfides and visually identified pentlandite, a nickel sulfide, at the Company's Voisey's West nickel project (the "Voisey's West" or the "Project"). The Project is located in the same intrusive complex as the nearby Voisey's Bay mine and 70km west of the town of Nain, Labrador, Canada.
Highlights
- First drilling into new zone visually identified nickel sulfide in pyrrhotite, 30 metres north of the northernmost drill intersection with significant sulfides to date.
- 2.5km trend containing multiple high-grade nickel zones.
- 340 meters north of drillhole intersection showing 14 metres at 1.02% nickel, 0.51% copper and 0.03% cobalt (08-AA-60).
- 950 meters north of drillhole intersection showing 5 metres at 1.28% nickel, 0.52% copper, and .03% cobalt (08-LP-55).
- Multiple targets remain open for expansion and show potential for additional new discoveries.
- Magmatic nickel sulphide style of mineralization, similar to Voisey's Bay.
Adrian Smith, CEO of the Company commented, "With this new discovery, we have validated our structural and geophysical exploration model and are excited to continue with further drilling on this and additional untested targets."
