Gull Ridge Project
Project Summary
The Gull Ridge nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM project is located near the Whisker Valley project along the Baie Verte highway (HWY 410) along the western edge of Maritime’s property.
Geology, Structure and Mineralization
The property occurs within a major tectono-stratigraphic zone in the The Gull Ridge Pluton is a large highly magnetic polyphase intrusion located in the southwest end of the Maritime land package and is historically under explored. Historical work in the area highlighted widespread disseminated and patchy sulphide mineralization of pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite and possible pentlandite. Historical assays from chips and grabs of outcrop reported 0.04 to 0.15% Cu and 0.03 to 0.10% Ni. A sample from a local prospector returned 5.2% Ni, 0.5% Cu and 0.1% Co. Initial prospecting, trenching, and diamond drilling in 2021 were successful in identifying widespread potentially hydrothermal magmatic sulphide mineralization. Airborne IP Geophysics (AIIP) identified a large chargeability anomaly measuring 4.5 km long by 1.5 km wide contained within the magnetic expression of the Gull Ridge Pluton. Soil sampling over a portion of the intrusion identified anomalous Ni in a soil trend over a strike length of 4 km within the broader AIIP Anomaly.
