Gold Lions Resources Nickel Plate Project

 

Gold Lions Resources Nickel Plate project is adjacent to properties/claims owned by Kobolt Metals Inc and Faith in Gravity Holding which runs northeast of Black Lake and is backed by some of the world's wealthiest people. Gold Lion's Nickel Plate project comprises 22 mineral claims covering 25,442 hectares located in northeastern Saskatchewan in an area of active metal exploration.

Gold Lion's Nickel Plate property is prospective for nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum, palladium and gold. Known mineral occurrences include the Butch gold occurrence where previous workers collected grab samples grading up to 50.98 g/t gold, 2.96 g/t platinum and 4.01 g/t palladium. The Butch showing occurs in hematite altered, fractured and sheared amphibolite outcrops in the vicinity of the regional NNE-trending Platt Creek shear zone.  

In addition, the Nickel Plate claims are host to approximately 40 nickel-copper occurrences with grab sample values ranging up to 4615 ppm nickel and 2801 ppm copper. This value was from a 2008 grab sample collected at the "Laura showing". The Laura showing is associated with an airborne electromagnetic survey by previous workers. Large portions of the Nickel Plate project are covered by airborne surveys including powerful MegaTEM and VTEM surveys.

CEO Guy Bourgeois commented, "As we reimagine and rebuild the global energy infrastructure, it will require an extensive amount of battery metals and materials to modernize a reliable, resilient, and secure electric grid. Much of the world's cobalt supply is a by-product of nickel and copper mining, with the majority sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo, therefore, North American sources are critical. For instance, Cobalt has specific properties to manage heat and is essential to stabilize and improve battery performance in electric vehicles, microgrids and other prevalent battery-powered devices. Several factors are pushing demand for battery materials and Gold Lion is well-positioned to supply the international market."

Gold Lion is planning an exploration program to be completed in the summer of 2022. This work will include ground investigations and surveys over the Butch gold, platinum, palladium occurrence as well as a number of the more prospective nickel, copper occurrences.
