Pivotal Metals (ASX:PVT) said drilling and a follow-up downhole electromagnetic survey at the Shanty Lake copper-nickel target within its Belleterre project in Canada intersected mafic volcanic, microgabbro, and iron formation with sulfide mineralization, according to a Friday Australian bourse filing.
The company said laboratory analysis returned no significant assay results, though it now has a clearer drill target for future drilling, with drilling of five new targets recently completed at Lorraine Mine East and assays pending for almost 1,000 meters.
A scoping study on Pivotal's flagship Horden Lake project is in the final stages of review and expected to be released shortly, the company added.
The company's shares fell 6% in recent Friday trade.
