Strange

The Strange Project was identified by former Inco geologists and is located approximately 60 kilometers southwest of Thunder Bay, Ontario. Preliminary exploration suggests the possibility for a significant nickel sulphide opportunity. A large-scale, significant magnetic anomaly was identified some 600-700 metres below surface, coinciding with the base of a mid-continental rift. The size and strength of the magnetic anomaly suggest the system is permissive of a district-scale nickel deposit. To encompass the entire anomaly, Metal Energy has staked further claims totaling 11,000 ha. The property is well-positioned with paved road access & already permitted for drilling. 

The Strange project is located within the Animikie Basin geological region, which includes major sulfide nickel deposits hosted within strata-bound ultramafic bodies mantled by mixed ‎sediment-volcanic sequences, such as Lundin Mining Corporation’s (TSX: LUN) Eagle Mine and Eagle East deposit. Geological evidence supports the interpretations for Strange possibly hosting Proterozoic Midcontinent Rift-style nickel deposits, similar to the Kambalda komatiitic nickel ore deposit model of Western Australia, the Raglan area of Northern ‎Quebec, the Pechenga district within the Kola Peninsula of eastern Russia, and the Thompson Nickel Belt ‎of Manitoba.‎ 

Initial testing shows evidence of a strong geophysical magnetic pattern. The Magnetic data was inverted to find the depth of the anomaly appears to be roughly 600-700 m at the base of the mid-continental rift.
