Sienna Resources hires contractor to drill at Slattberg

SIENNA RESOURCES INC HIRES DRILLER FOR SWEDISH COBALT PROSPECT

Sienna Resources Inc. has engaged Protek Norr AB of Sweden to drill Sienna's Slattberg cobalt-nickel-copper project in Sweden. Drilling is expected to commence shortly.

Jason Gigliotti, president of Sienna, states: "We are very optimistic about the Slattberg cobalt-nickel-copper project. We are pleased to secure Protek as they have a strong local knowledge of the terrain and geology. We anticipate the commencement of the drill program shortly. Recently BMW announced they are looking to secure a long-term supply of battery metals such as lithium and cobalt, as it moves to secure raw materials for its push into electric vehicles over the next decade. The world is moving electric and we want to position Sienna to be at the forefront of this battery metals revolution."

Earlier this week Sienna significantly increased its acreage on its Slattberg cobalt-nickel-copper project. The Slattberg cobalt-nickel-copper project now consists of three exploration licences covering 12,733 acres and at least 16 historic mines, with one being the historic Martanberg copper mine, which was operated in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Martanberg field is known for its copper-rich skarn-style mineralization. The underground workings extended to depths of 80 to 100 metres, and little to no modern exploration has been conducted in the area. The company plans to bring modern techniques and views to this added acreage.

On Jan. 30, 2018, the company announced that initial results have been received from the continuing magnetic survey work on the Slattberg cobalt-nickel-copper project in Sweden. High-resolution magnetic surveys in the area of historic nickel-copper-cobalt mines have defined multiple strong magnetic responses along the trends of mineralization. These areas of strong magnetic response are interpreted to represent steeply plunging bodies of massive sulphide mineralization that is rich in pyrrhotite. The magnetic data appear to confirm additional continuity of drill defined zones of mineralization known from the historic drilling. Along with the historic drill data, these new magnetic data are being used to define multiple high-priority drill targets for the upcoming drill program.

Slattberg's massive sulphide mineralization is known to be strongly magnetic, owing to its high concentrations of pyrrhotite, a magnetic ferrous sulphide mineral associated with the Co-Ni-Cu mineralization. The new magnetic data are being used to potentially generate additional high-priority drill targets on the project.
