Duluth Metals has announced the results for Hole 13-RK-02, drilled on their Rook Property, situated in the western sector of the company’s 100 per cent owned 40,000-acre exploration package. This hole has intersected three significant mineralized sections.
Hole 13-RK-02 was drilled to test for the down-dip extension of mineralization at the base of the Partridge River intrusion (PRI), host to Teck’s Mesaba deposit.

The closest previous deep drilling to this hole is approximately a half mile to the north and west. In addition to intersecting the basal mineralization, Hole 13-RK-02 also identified high grade PGM and Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization significantly above the basal contact of the PRI.
The Rook Property is situated on the south-eastern boundary of the Teck Resources Mesaba copper-nickel project in the Duluth Complex, north-eastern Minnesota and is approximately three miles southwest of the Twin Metals Minnesota Project currently under pre-feasibility study by Duluth and its joint venture partner Antofagasta.

Drilling on the Rook Property is part of the long-term exploration program being conducted on Duluth Metals’ large prospective exploration package situated in the Duluth Complex.
The Duluth Complex hosts some of the world’s largest undeveloped resources of copper, nickel and PGMs. In comparison to worldwide deposits, the Duluth Complex is estimated to have the world’s third largest accumulation of nickel sulphides and the world’s second largest accumulation of polymetallic copper and platinum group metals. The Duluth Complex hosts a number of known copper-nickel-platinum-palladium-gold deposits.
