In wrapping up its 2006 drilling program at the Ferguson Lake copper-nickel-platinum group metals project located 240 km west of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Star-field Resources (sru-v, srfdf-o) has focused on delineating a potential open-pit area on the West zone. Drilling along a 4.2-km section of the West zone has now identified an indicated resource of 8.7 million tonnes grading 0.93 percent copper, 0.67 percent nickel, 0.08 percent cobalt, 1.47 grams palladium per tonne and 0.21 gram platinum, using a 1 percent copper plus nickel cutoff grade. The recently updated resource estimate also reviewed an additional 66.1 million inferred tonnes of 1.02 percent copper, 0.6 percent nickel, 0.069 percent cobalt, 1.43 grams palladium and 0.25 gram platinum using the same cutoff grade.
