| | Overview First Nickel's target is a Voisey's bay style nickel / copper/ PGE deposit The area has been explored and mined by numerous companies and individuals since the late 1800's for any number of economic commodities including gold, silver, zinc, copper, nickel and uranium as well as industrial minerals including, but not limited to, iron ore, graphite and wollastonite. The Belmont Project area is cross-cut by a number of regional highways with a well developed power supply grid. Numerous residential, commercial and recreational properties exist within the project area.
The Belmont Project is comprises greater than 7,000 hectares of mining rights in several claim blocks representing 61 unpatented mining claims. The claims are located in Belmont, Lake, Limerick, Marmora and Wollaston Townships located to the north of Belleville, Ontario. The properties are accessed from all weather paved highways and unpaved seasonal bush roads. Geology The Belmont Project covers an area of the Central Metasedimentary Belt known as the Belmont Domain. The project area is underlain by calcareous and siliceous meta-sediments, felsic to mafic meta-volcanics with numerous intrusions varying in composition from granites to ultramafics. The units identified within the property boundaries all fall within the Grenville Province and have been exposed to high grade regional metamorphism. Deformation has resulted in a northeast-southwest axial folding trends that parallel the regional fold patterns in the area. The area is cross-cut by several episodes of brittle faulting. The presence of mafic to ultramafic intrusions in close proximity to sulphide bearing meta-sediments represents a good exploration target for nickel and copper sulphide mineralization. Several nickel-copper showings associated with mafic and ultramafic intrusions exist within the area. The nickel and copper showings tend to be associated with the more pyroxenitic portions of the mafic intrusions. Exploration A regional airborne geophysical survey consisting of approximately 6,000 line kilometers of magnetometer survey and AeroTem III electromagnetic system will be completed in 2008. The survey is being flown on a 100 metres spaced grid in an east-west orientation at a height of approximately 30 metres above the surface. Reconnaissance mapping and prospecting is being completed on the property, visiting the known nickel sulphide occurrences and the airborne EM anomalies. | |
