Metals intersected
Ragnar Metals drilling results confirmed "large scale potential" at the company's Granmuren Deeps nickel, copper, and cobalt discovery. This is located within the ASX mining stock's Tullsta nickel project in Sweden.
Diamond drilling at hole 21DDTS007 intersected 0.56% nickel, 0.49% copper, and 0.05% cobalt at 146.3 metres.
This included a higher grade zone at 34m of 0.90% nickel, 0.80% copper, and 0.08% cobalt.
A 3D review of the results showed thick nickel and copper mineralisation extending to a depth of 400m. Grades and thinkness of the metals are growing with depth.
Commenting on the results likely fuelling the Ragnar Metals share price, chairman Steve Formica said:
With the results of hole 21DDTS007 now received, we can start to understand the potential scale of the Granmuren Intrusive system.
All holes drilled in this drilling program added to the discovery and understanding of the magmatic sulphides intersected in the drilling.
The modelling and interpretation to date show this to be an extensive system with the potential to host significant tonnage of Ni-Cu-Co metals.
The company is planning to diamond drill another four holes at the site targeting magmatic sulphide accumulations.
