Thunder, Lightning. Hailstone,Virga.. Hang onto your shares,...Looks like there|s a big Storm brewing up in Nunavut/ The Southern flank seen here showing 4 new zones . The new zones will be added in to 43-101 next year which should double the soon to-be released 43-101..

Additional EM and gravity surveys are planned for the start of the 2024 season and will cover the Storm, Tornado, Blizzard, and Tempest prospect areas.

Stated drill hole intersections are all down hole length, and true width is expected to be 60% to 90% of stated length
EXPANDING THE 4100N ZONE NORTHWARDS – DRILL HOLE SR23-55 DETAILS
Exploration RC drill hole SR23-55 was drilled to a downhole depth of 150.9m and was designed to test a moderately conductive Fixed Loop Electromagnetic (FLEM) anomaly to the north of the 4100N Zone (Figure 3).

Stated drill hole intersections are all down hole length, and true width is expected to be 90% of stated length.
The 2021 FLEM survey highlighted two distinct, late time anomalies with an apparent strike of approximately 200m and 500m respectively north of the known copper mineralization at the 4100N Zone. A single drill hole was designed to test the southernmost anomaly.
Drill hole SR23-55 intersected a 24.4m thick interval of breccia and vein copper sulfide mineralization. The mineralized zone contains a stronger sulfide breccia interval of 7.6m @ 1% Cu, which includes 1.5m @ 2% Cu. The >2% copper mineralization is interpreted to be the source of the EM anomalism.
Significantly, a FLEM anomaly located over 300m to the north of drill hole SR23-55 has a higher conductivity and could represent larger volumes of >2% copper mineralisation. This anomaly is yet to be drill tested. These two anomalies cover an area of approximately 16 hectares and have the potential to host significant volumes of additional mineralization.
These EM targets and the expansion of the 4100N Zone is a priority of the 2024 exploration and drilling program.
EXPLORATION UPSIDE – NUMEROUS EM ANOMALIES REMAIN UNTESTED
Exploration drilling of high-priority electromagnetic (EM) anomalies and key geological features during 2023 has further expanded the footprint of the near-surface, high-grade copper mineralization at Storm.
