Enters MOU With American Nuclear Resources LLC for Purchase of Colorado Plateau Mining Properties
Everett Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce the start of the initial 2011 diamond drilling program at its Menarik polymetallic property, located in the James Bay area of the province of Quebec. A minimum of 2,000 meters will be drilled in this program, to test multiple targets, as the property hosts stratiform chromite horizons and magmatic massive sulphides in Menarik ultramafic intrusion, nickel-copper concentrations in the altered zones, gold targets and mineralized felsic volcanic on the edges. All the core samples will be prepared and submitted to ALS-Chemex in Val-d'Or, Quebec for analysis.
