The proceeds of the loan will be used to advance exploration efforts at the Company’s BEN and BEN South properties and for general working capital.
The BEN property is an exploration stage nickel project located approximately 52 km north of Williams Lake, B.C.
As of November 24th, 2014 the Company has completed 3 drill programs consisting of 2610 metres of diamond drilling across 23 holes. These 23 holes were drilled in 5 separate Zones with the most recent drill campaign focusing on the Skelton Zone, Southern Lobe Zone, Ring Zone and Northern Lobe Zone.
Nickel mineralization on the BEN is contained within extensive serpentine bodies and occurs mainly as the high grade nickel sulphides pentlandite, millerite and bravoite. Nickel bearing serpentinite is abundant on the property. Data generated from drill programs has indicated that higher nickel grades are associated with higher magnetic susceptibility readings. Management believes this is a large system which is outlined well by the airborne magnetic survey.
Assays are pending from a recently completed 928 metre diamond drill program.
