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

 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
