Strongbow Exploration Inc. has commissioned a metallurgical study of the Main Zone nickel-copper-cobalt deposit at its wholly owned Nickel King project in Northwest Territories, Canada. The program is being carried out at SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario under the independent supervision of Mr Andy Holloway of DRA Americas. PEG Mining Consultants has been contracted to manage the program and additional guidance will be provided by Dr Wm Gord Bacon, an independent consulting metallurgical engineer. Final results of the metallurgical study are expected by July 2009 and will provide Strongbow with initial metallurgical criteria including estimates of grindability, metal recovery and concentrate grade.
