Winter drilling program continues. (Special Report: Sudbury).Wallbridge Mining Co. has identified a large, highly conductive anomaly at its Windy Lake property. Diamond drill hole WL-009 was completed in late November and was subsequently tested with borehole bore·hole n. A hole that is drilled into the earth, as in exploratory well drilling or in building construction. electromagnetic surveys. The surveys detected a non-decaying, strongly conducive anomaly in proximity to the hole. This type of anomaly, commonly referred to as a superconductor A material that has little resistance to the flow of electricity. Traditional superconductors operate at absolute zero (-459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or -273.15 degrees Celsius). Experiments in the 1980s raised the temperature to -321 degrees Fahrenheit. , is significant because it suggests the presence of a large sulphide body, an official with the company says. In the geological environment of hole WL-009, sulphide bodies are known to host significant copper, nickel and platinum group The platinum group (alternatively, the platinum group metals or platinum metals) is a collective name sometimes used for six metallic elements clustered together in the periodic table. element mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. of the type found in the contact setting of the Sudbury Basin. Plans for follow-up test drilling are being finalized. They have now completed nine diamond drill holes under Windy Lake and plan additional drilling this winter. |
