T-Bone
T-Bone is a greenfield Ni-Cu-Co, PGE magmatic sulphide project located in Northern Manitoba, Canada. The project is situated on the western extent of the Fox River Belt, a Proterozoic Greenstone Belt with significant potential due to its comparable magmatism to the Thompson and Cape Smith Nickel Belts. The T-Bone target has never been drilled, but several late-time B-Field electromagnetic anomalies have been identified through historical airborne surveys. Plethora Exploration plans to drill 2,000 meters to test the target and identify additional follow-up targets, aided by borehole EM geophysics. T-Bone is accessible year-round by helicopter, and comprises two Mineral Exploration Licences covering a total area of 19,096 hectares.
Overview
- T-Bone is a magmatic sulphide (Ni-Cu-Co, PGE) project located in Northern Manitoba, Canada
- T-Bone is located on the western extent of the Fox River Belt. The Fox River Belt is a Proterozoic Greenstone Belt which forms part of the north-western margin of the Superior Province.
- The Circum-Superior Boundary Zone is a highly prospective magmatic sulphide setting which already hosts the Thompson Nickel Belt (Thompson Mine) and Cape Smith Belt (Raglan Mine).
- Mafic and Ultramafic magmatism along the Fox River Belt and at the T-Bone target is directly comparable to magmatism along the Thompson Nickel Belt and Cape Smith Belt.
- The T-Bone target is a greenfield target, having received limited historic exploration via airborne surveys and no drilling.
- Re-processing of historic airborne geophysics have identified several late time B-Field electromagnetic anomalies.
- 2,000 metres of drilling is planned to test the T-Bone target. Borehole EM geophysics will aid in identifying additional follow-up drill targets and guide towards massive sulphide mineralization.
Geology
- T-Bone is targeting mafic – ultramafic lithologies of the lower intrusive package of the Fox River Belt.
- The lower intrusives represent the lowermost level of intrusive activity across the belt and are predominantly well differentiated in parts – peridotite base, overlying pyroxene rich layer and upper gabbronorite, elsewhere the comprise a zoned peridotite core and pyroxene margin.
- LREE sampling at lower intrusives across the belt suggests an enrichment likely due to interaction with country rock.
Access and Location
- T-Bone is situated approximately 50 kms southeast of the town of Gillam and 50 kms east of Ilford, in Northern Manitoba, Canada.
- Access to the property can be made year-round by helicopter with existing snow mobile trails scattered across the property used by hunters.
Land Tenure
- The Property comprises 2 Mineral Exploration Licences (MELs) covering a combined total land area of 19,096 hectares. A 5,153 Ha claim covering the main target zone is subject to an option agreement with Kenorland Minerals Inc. Plethora Exploration has the right to acquire 100%. The remaining claims are 100% owned by Plethora Exploration.
- The MELs are valid for a period of 5 years from issue and can be renewed for a further 5 years.
