First Point expands drilling program

First Point Minerals Corporation has announced that Cliffs Natural Resources Exploration Canada Inc, an affiliate of Cliffs Natural Resources Inc, has expanded the 2011 drilling program at the Decar nickel project in British Columbia. Cliffs has recently added a second drill rig to Decar with the intention to drill off the Baptiste nickel iron alloy zone to at least a NI43-101 inferred resource category. Decar is a Greenfield discovery of nickel mineralization in the form of a naturally occurring nickel iron alloy, with no associated sulphides. The target at Decar is a bulk tonnage, open pittable nickel deposit. The 2011 drilling program, under the supervision of Caracle Creek International Consulting, is delineating the Baptiste zone over a targeted 2500m by 700m area at 200m centers. The planned depth is 300m down hole. A total of 47 holes have been proposed for this year’s delineation drilling campaign on Baptiste, with six holes completed to date.
