Exploration Collaborative Announces Results from Work at Two Project Targets

The findings suggest the potential for additional discoveries in this metals-laden district.

Group Ten Metals Inc. (PGE:TSX.V; PGEZF:OTC) reported in a news release it intercepted platinum and palladium mineralization at the Chrome Mountain and East Boulder targets at Stillwater West, its flagship project.

These results are from 2018 Stillwater exploration programs, historical data analyses and modeling.

The mineralization "is associated with two major electromagnetic geophysical conductors that are approximately 2.9 and 2.6 kilometers in length respectively and correspond with broad coincident soil and rock geochemical anomalies," President and CEO Michael Rowley said in the release.

The size of the targets suggests potential for "discovery of a major new bulk tonnage 'Platreef-style' platinum group elements-nickel-copper deposit," which is "geologically similar to those in the Bushveld complex of South Africa."

The mineralization at Chrome Mountain starts at surface and includes nine intervals of more than 100 meters (100m) in thickness with a grade thickness of more than 100 gram meter total platinum equivalent. Six holes intersected more than 200m of a grade thickness of 200-294 gram meter platinum equivalent.

Rock sampling at Chrome Mountain returned up to 16 grams per ton (16 g/t) of 3E (8.72 g/t platinum, 7.25 g/t palladium and 0.03 g/t gold.)
