Metal Energy (MERG) has commenced a previously announced 3,000-metre drill program on the high-grade nickel Manibridge project.

Manibridge encompasses 4,368 hectares within the Thompson Nickel Belt in Manitoba.

Drilling will focus within the shadow of the past-producing mine that yielded 1.3M tonnes at 2.55-per-cent nickel and 0.27-per-cent copper between 1971 and 1977.

James Sykes, CEO of Metal Energy sat down with Shoran Devi to discuss the program.

“We’re excited to launch the first drill program on our flagship Manibridge project. Historic drilling within one kilometre of the old mine workings intersected broad zones of high-grade nickel mineralization. However, we’ve identified numerous target areas with the potential to extend known high-grade nickel occurrences and increase the overall size of the mineralization shell. Some of the targets follow historic intersections of 15 to 30 metres grading between 0.80 to 2.00% Ni. The program is designed to test a broad array of target areas that will provide us with new geological information to help us plan for our larger summer program.”

Metal Energy is a nickel and battery metal exploration company with projects in Manitoba and Ontario.

Metal Energy (MERG) opened trading at C$0.145 per share.
