Amur Minerals Corporation (AIM: AMC), an exploration and development company focused on East Russia, announces recently obtained assay results from the diamond drilling programme at its Kun-Manie nickel sulphide project located in the Russian Far East. The results are from three holes located within and peripheral to the Ikenskoe ore body.
Key results include the following:
– High grade nickel values of selectively mineable thicknesses at a cutoff grade of 0.7% nickel are present within the drill holes. The average true thickness is 5.7 metres at an average grade of 0.98% nickel and 0.24% copper.
– Using an open pit mining cutoff grade of 0.2% nickel, the average thickness is more than 15 metres. The average nickel grade is 0.69% and copper is 0.18%.
– The holes are located along the western extension of the previously drilled area of the Ikenskoe deposit and have grades higher than the average for the deposit. The results continue to confirm that the limits of the mineralisation have not yet been delineated.
