Western Atlas Resources Inc. released initial results from the previously announced additional logging and sampling program conducted at its Meadowbank Gold Project located in Nunavut, Canada. Additional sampling results provide for new potential for Nickel and Polymetallic mineralization on the property in addition to geological settings like banded iron formation (BIF) and shear zones favourable for the development of orogenic gold deposits in the area. Holes WA20-004 and WA20-005 are part of the 2020 diamond drill program, the first ever run on the Company' Meadowbank properties which consisted of 13 drill holes for a total of 3,545 meters drilled in Target B1, Block B, south of and contiguous to Agnico Eagle's Meadowbank mine and Greyhound project. Target B1 is only one of numerous targets for follow up with drilling so far identified within Blocks A, B and C. Results for Nickel and Polymetallic analyses determined by ICP-OES following Aqua Regia digestion and by ICP-OES + ICP-MS following Sodium Peroxide fusion digestion and additional Platinum and Palladium assays for prospective holes WA20-003, WA20-006, WA20-011 and WA20-013 are still pending. The 2020 drill program targeted banded iron formation (BIF) and shear zones, confirms geological settings and conditions favourable for the development of orogenic gold deposits in the area and highlights anomalous values for both precious and base metals. Anomalous gold, nickel, chromium and zinc intersections include: WA20-003 (New results pending): intercepted 0.30 m at 1.27 g/t Au and 12.30 g/t Ag from 253.23 m, and 0.77 m at 0.15% Zn from 245.08 m (Zone 1); WA20-013 (New results pending): intercepted 0.45 m at 1.39 g/t Au from 5.20 m, 7.38 m at 0.12% Ni and 0.21% Cr from 142.42 m and 9.33 m at 0.14% Ni and 0.21% Cr from 177.70 m (Zone 2); WA20-004: intercepted 95.02 m (previously 7.75 m) at 0.12% Ni, 0.008% Co, 0.23% Cr, 7.85% Fe and 0.72% S from 18.73 m. 7.75 m at 0.014 g/t Pd, 0.014 g/t Pt (12 samples so far analyzed for this group of metals) from 102.15 m and 11.21 m at 0.11% of Zn from 79.84 m (Zone 2); WA20-005: intercepted 78.05 m (previously 8.45 m) at 0.12% Ni, 0.008% Co, 0.20% Cr, 7.54% Fe and 0.77% S from 15.80 m. 8.45 m at 0.014 g/t Pd, 0.014 g/t Pt (10 samples so far analyzed for this group of metals) from 85.40 m (Zone 2); WA20-006 (New results pending): intercepted 11.60 m at 0.10% Ni and 0.25% Cr from 205.23 m and 2.23 m at 0.12% Ni and 0.27% Cr from 239.66 m and 2.75 m at 0.10% Ni and 0.22% Cr from 249.15 m (Zone 2); WA20-011(New results pending): intercepted 2.98 m at 0.15% Ni and 0.22% Cr from 119.75 m (Zone 5). Individual drill core samples were sawn in half, labeled, placed in plastic sample bags, and sealed. The remaining drill core is securely stored in Baker Lake. Samples were placed in bags sealed with uniquely numbered security tags and shipped directly to Activation Laboratories Ltd. ("Actlabs") in Ancaster, Ontario for analysis. The Actlabs facility is accredited to ISO 17025:2017 standards and to the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) Requirements and Guidance for the Accreditation of Testing Laboratories. Samples were weighed then crushed to a nominal 2 mm (10 mesh), mechanically split to obtain a representative sample (250 g) and then pulverized (mid steel) to at least 95% passing 105 microns (µm). Multi-element analysis package determined 38 elements including copper, zinc, lead and silver assays were determined by Aqua Regia digestion with ICP-OES finish. Gold (30g sample of the pulverized material) was analyzed by fire assay fusion with AAS finish. Company QA/QC included the insertion and continual monitoring of standards, blanks, and duplicates. The Company is currently analyzing the sample pulps using ICP-OES+ICP-MS (Ultratrace 7) following a Sodium Peroxide fusion digestion system and expects a significant improvement of the grade for Nickel and base metals. The Company will report to the market about any material difference in grade upon receipt of the final and additional assays.
