-- Mink Ventures (MINK.V), a Canadian mineral exploration company exploring for critical minerals in Ontario, has identified eight new high priority drill targets after receiving preliminary airborne electromagnetic (VTEM) survey data for the Warren nickel-copper-cobalt project in Ontario, the company said Wednesday.
The presence of nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization within a massive sulfide zone in the recent 2026 drilling on the project's A zone supports the potential for the deposition of larger magmatic sulphide zones across the property, Mink added.
The recently acquired airborne data covers the western portion of the property where VTEM coverage was incomplete, the company noted.
VTEM can penetrate up to 500 meters and can better define potential massive sulphide mineralization targets similar to the mineralized zone intersected on the A Zone, it said. Recent drilling at A Zone returned 7.1 meters of 0.44% Ni, 0.28% Cu and 0.06% Co; including a higher-grade intercept of 4 meters of 0.58% Ni, 0.18% Cu and 0.08% Co., it added.
"The survey data identified eight, brand new, high priority drill targets that are fully permitted and drill ready, enables our team to best direct the focus of our next exploration and drill campaign at Warren," Chief Executive Officer Natasha Dixon said.
