Wednesday, Dec 12, 2012

LONDON, UK, Dec. 12, 2012 /CNW/ - Landore Resources (AIM: LND) today announced drilling and a geophysical survey update at the Scorpion Zone of the Junior Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGEs Project.

Drilling is in-progress on the western section of the 1,500 metre long Scorpion Zone. Infill drilling conducted between lines 50W and 200W has successfully intersected broad zones containing B4-7 style massive sulphide mineralisation at depth. This mineralisation is associated with significant Nickel and Copper values, as well as notable Cobalt and Palladium.

Assay and lithology information from drill-holes 0412-449, 0412-450 and 0412-452 have been included in the B4-7 resource estimate upgrade, currently in-progress. Results from this resource estimate are anticipated by early Q1 2013.

The Junior Lake property:

The Junior Lake property, 100% owned by Landore, is located in the province of Ontario, Canada, approximately 235 kilometres north-northeast of Thunder Bay, and is host to; the B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGMs deposit, the VW Nickel deposit, the B4-8 prospect and numerous other highly prospective mineral occurrences.

The combined resources (Canadian National Instrument (NI) 43-101 compliant) of the B4-7 and VW deposits delineated to date, total 48,281 tonnes of nickel equivalent (NiEq), 82 per cent of which is in the Indicated category.

B4-7 Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGM deposit:

The B4-7 deposit mineralisation is hosted within a sub-vertical massive sulphide vein with stringers, net-textured and disseminated sulphides in the immediate hanging wall. In Q1 2010, a NI 43-101 compliant report and resource estimate upgrade was completed for the B4-7 deposit. The resource reported 26,521 tonnes at 1.02% NiEq.
