Churchill Enters Into Binding Letter of Intent to Acquire Florence Lake Ni-Cu-PGE Property From Altius

TORONTO, June 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Churchill Sources Inc. (“Churchill” or the “Firm”) (TSXV:CRI) is happy to announce that it has entered right into a binding letter of intent dated June 24, 2021 (the “LOI”) with Altius Sources Inc.

The Florence Lake Property is host to a number of Raglan-type ultramafic volcanic-hosted large and disseminated sulphide nickel showings, and was final explored by Falconbridge between 1990-1997 throughout which era roughly 6,250m of drilling in 45 shallow holes had been performed, with drill core current on the property for relogging and sampling.

Highlights of that work included drill testing of the high-grade Baikie Displaying the place shallow drilling (<-100m depths) returned:

DDH FLK-92-02: 2.19% Ni, 0.22% Cu, 0.16% Co over 11.32 metres from 44.7 to 56m
DDH FLK-92-12: 1.33% Ni, 0.05% Cu over 13.5 metres from 83.0 to 96.5m

The Baikie Displaying has demonstrated mineralized continuity over 110m of strike size from twelve drillhole intercepts and mapping, and is interpreted as a close to vertically plunging subzone of disseminated, semi-massive and big sulphide mineralization, in step with the Raglan or Kambalda type of nickel deposits. Different showings alongside strike have generated +1.0% nickel seize samples or brief intersections and want fashionable exploration work together with Baikie.

The Florence Lake Property is in want of contemporary, helicopter-borne magnetic and time area EM surveying and Churchill has engaged a number one contractor for this work in September, with compilations of all historic information already effectively alongside. Floor follow-up, prospecting and until sampling work may even be initiated this fall.

Paul Sobie, President and Chief Government Officer of Churchill remarked, “We’re actually happy to have entered into this second association to probably purchase a high-grade nickel sulphide undertaking from Altius, and it’s location 15km from tidewater in Newfoundland and Labrador actually enhances its attractiveness. Altius is a superb companion and we’re excited to construct on our relationship with the group there. We stay up for advancing each Taylor Brook and Florence Lake within the coming months.”
