MINK VENTURES COMPLETES DRILLING AT WARREN PROJECT; MOVES DRILL TO MONTCALM NI CU CO PROJECT

Mink Ventures Corp. has completed eight diamond drill holes (346 metres) at its Warren Ni-Cu-Co (nickel-copper-cobalt) project, Timmins, Ont. The program tested priority nickel copper targets at the A zone and D zone. Drill core is being logged, split and assayed. The program successfully intersected significant sulphide mineralization in a number of drill holes. Assay results will be released when received.

The winter drill program will now continue at Mink's, sizeable (100 square kilometres), Montcalm property, located approximately 30 km northwest of the Warren property. Mink's Montcalm project, located within the Montcalm Gabbro complex, is adjacent to Glencore's Montcalm mine, with historical production of 3.93 million tonnes of ore grading 1.25 per cent Ni, 0.67 per cent Cu and 0.051 per cent Co (Ontario Geological Survey, Atkinson, 2010). The objective of Mink's drill program at Montcalm is to drill test a deep seated, high-priority, 3-D borehole induced polarization target with coincident airborne VTEM, airborne gravity and airborne magnetic responses, located approximately 500 metres below surface.
