Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - Murchison Minerals Ltd (CSE – MUR) (“Murchison” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a project update on its Brabant-McKenzie project (the “Project”) located in North Central Saskatchewan. The Company has commenced its drill program on the Project. As previously announced (See Press Release January 19, 2017), the drill program is estimated to be approximately 5,000 m. The program’s focus is to expand the tonnage of the Brabant-McKenzie deposit (the “Deposit”). The Company is utilizing two drill rigs and the program is expected to be completed by mid to late March.
The Company has also commenced a ground geophysical survey on the Project designed to follow up and confirm the results of the HeliSAM geophysics survey completed in December 2016. The ground geophysics will utilize a deep penetrating SQUID electromagnetic survey system in order to provide better definition of Anomalies C and D located approximately 1.4 kilometres southwest and 1.0 kilometre south, respectively, of the Deposit. The focus of the survey is to better define Anomalies C and D in order to drill test the anomalies.
