Advanced Explorations (AEI) has reported the additional drilling results from the Tuktu iron ore project, which is situated in Nunavut, Canada.
The company has interested high grade banded iron formation including 50.27% iron over 6 m, 32.69% iron over 236.58 m space and 40.75% iron over 16 m in the drill hole 11TT010.
The CEO and President of the company, has stated that AEI has encountered high-grade iron ore over 235 m in the drill hole 11TT010. It has also intersected 50% iron horizon over 200 m at a distance in two parallel holes along the strike length with the drill hole 11TT010. AEI is receiving positive results, which were uniform in thickness, grade and high-grade mineralized intercepts at an extensive level. The drilling results received from the Tuktu project show the excellent potential of the iron structures of the district and a possibility for fine BIF deposits.
The company has drilled all the holes at -45° and at 40° to 45° azimuth. It prepared all the samples from sawn NQ-sized half-core segments on site in Nunavut. These split drill core samples are shipped to Ontario-based Activation Lab of Ancaster for preparation and examination. AEI conducts the total iron analysis by means of X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Satmagan magnetic analysis identifies the magnetic element. AEI’s Vice President for Exploration, Steve Roebuck, is overseeing the drilling at the Tuktu program.
