| * | Intersection intervals reported are core lengths; actual true widths are unknown at this time but are generally 70 to 80% of core length. Once known, true widths are calculated for each intersection. These could vary somewhat from time to time as the zones are re-interpreted, thereby altering the geometry. |
At Bowden Lake property, Xstrata Nickel (formerly Falconbridge) drilled 61 holes for 23,412 meters between 1960 and 1996, and the Company drilled 7 holes in 2005. Pursuant to a NI 43-101 technical report dated October 19, 2012, Bowden Lake property contains approximately 2.0 million tonnes of inferred resources with average head grade of 1.16% based on 1.0% cut-off grade (please also refer to press release dated October 26, 2012).
The Company also reports that a 17-hole 8,683 diamond drilling program at the Company's Bucko North property was completed but the assay results are pending.
Quality Control
CaNickel executes a quality control program to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis. Samples are cut and split for assay with the remaining sample retained for reference. Samples to be assayed are initially transported in sealed and secure bags for assay preparation at ALS-Chemex Laboratory ("ALS") in Thunder Bay, Ontario for sample preparation. Subsequently ALS then sends pulps to their Vancouver British Columbia, offices for analysis. Fire assays were performed at ALS's laboratory in Vancouver on all the samples for gold and PGEs which undergo an ICP-AES finish. All other metals undergo Sodium Peroxide Fusion/ICP finish. Standards and blanks are submitted with each sample batch, one for every 25 samples.
