Giga announces start of exploration season
(Vancouver) – Mark Jarvis, President of Giga Metals Corp. (TSX.V – GIGA) announced
today that the 2018 exploration program has commenced at the Turnagain nickel/cobalt
Project, located in north central British Columbia. Archaeological and wildlife surveys are
under way. One drill rig is on site and a second will arrive shortly.
Highlights:
- 9600 metres of core drilling planned with two drill rigs
- Several high impact exploration targets to be tested
- Infill, metallurgical and geotechnical drilling to support Pre-Feasibility studies
- Geophysical surveys and trenching to define new targets
“We are very excited about getting back into the field at Turnagain,” said Mr. Jarvis. “The
improving market for cobalt and nickel as part of the battery supply chain means that now
is the time to advance our deposit to Pre-Feasibility. Our goal is to have the project shovel-
ready by 2021.”
High impact exploration targets include three unexplained magnetic anomalies . Project
geologists hypothesize that the lower portions and roots of the Turnagain magmatic
complex were displaced by faulting.
“We are interested in determining whether these unexplained magnetic anomalies represent
the roots or feeder conduits to the Turnagain complex ,” said Mr. Jarvis. “Since the feeder
zones of intrusive complexes can contain accumulations of massive sulphides, such a
discovery at Turnagain could be transformative.”
