• Waiting for Eagle Two nickel-copper-platinum-palladium assays
and visual results from follow-up drilling on Eagle Two and from
other targets – We expect catalytic results soon and will be
looking specifically for the following:
• PGE and Ni-Cu grades similar to Eagle One for the massive
sulphide mineralization – If we see +10 g/t Pt + Pd assay results
for this type of mineralization, we will be encouraged that the
chances are that other magmatic sulphide occurrences in the
region will have similarly high PGE contents.
• Significant PGE grades associated with “deformation zones”
reported by NOT at Eagle Two (i.e., Hole 6) – We note that in
Eagle One the “breccia sulphide” interval associated with a
deformation zone returned the highest PGE assays at 40.79 g/t Pt
and 14.57 g/t Pd.
• Continuity of the massive sulphides intersected in Hole 8 – The
seven metre intersection of massive sulphides in Hole 8 is
potentially moderately dipping to the southwest and open for
follow-up drilling down dip.
• More chromitite to be intersected? – Chromitite might be
intersected in Hole 8 down dip of Hole 6 and in other follow-up
holes. We also expect more geological context regarding the
chromitite unit geometry.
• Will there be an Eagle Three? – We are aware that NOT has
moved to test other electromagnetic targets including AT-3. If
further targets are documented as being a sulphide source with
nickel-bearing sulphides, it would be a significant development
and support our view that these deposits tend to occur in clusters.
• Valuation and recommendation – Although we have not changed
our valuation, we have moved back to a BUY recommendation
(from HOLD) given that NOT’s current share price is significantly
below our $7.00 per share target.
