Mink Intersects 7.1 Meters of 0.44% Ni, 0.28% Cu, 0.06% Co in Massive Sulphide at Warren Property
Mink Ventures hits massive sulphides at Warren as it hunts for the next Montcalm-style deposit.
The most recent news (March 11, 2026) reports significant drilling results from the Warren Ni-Cu-Co Property in Timmins, Ontario. The standout result is hole W26-13, which intersected a massive sulphide zone yielding 0.44% Ni, 0.28% Cu, and 0.06% Co over 7.1 meters. This follows the completion of an eight-hole program (346 meters) at Warren and a single deep hole (549 meters) at the Montcalm project. While the Montcalm hole was interrupted by a diabase dyke, the Warren results confirm the presence of near-surface magmatic sulphides across multiple zones (A and D Zones).
The news is Material - Positive. For a micro-cap explorer, intersecting 7.1 meters of massive sulphides is a significant technical milestone. - Technical Validation: The presence of massive sulphides confirms the "magmatic sulphide" model, suggesting the potential for a larger pool of mineralization. - Grade vs. Width: While 0.44% Nickel is not "high-grade" by global standards, the width (7.1m) and the associated Copper/Cobalt credits in a massive sulphide setting are highly encouraging for a grassroots project. - Operational Efficiency: The company has already permitted a summer drill program, showing a clear path forward. - Montcalm Setback: The neutral impact of the "missed" target at Montcalm (due to a dyke) is offset by the success at Warren, though the need to "wedge" the Montcalm hole adds future cost.
Mink Ventures is focused on Nickel-Copper-Cobalt exploration in the Timmins Mining Camp, Ontario. - Flagship Project: The Warren Property (11.3 km²). It is located near the former Montcalm Mine (Glencore). - Secondary Project: Montcalm Project, targeting deep-seated geophysical anomalies. - Development Stage: Early-stage exploration/Drilling.
