Mink Ventures has completed the second phase of drilling at its Warren Project in Timmins, Canada, with two drill-holes spanning 477m targeting nickel, copper and cobalt mineralisation.
The drilling aimed to test two Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) Maxwell Plate anomalies at the site, and the core logging process has concluded.

Sampling of mineralised intervals is currently in progress with assay results anticipated by late August.
Following this, Mink Ventures plans to begin another drilling programme at its Montcalm Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Project. This is likely to begin by late August or early September, contingent on ground conditions allowing access.
Preparations are scheduled for mid-December for a winter access road to the northern part of the Warren site. This is in anticipation of the phase three drilling programme, which will test three new VTEM targets near a historical drill-hole that reported 0.84% copper over 4.3m.
The Warren Project is situated within the Kamiskotia Gabbro Complex (KGC), which is considered geologically similar to the Montcalm Gabbro Complex, where the historical Montcalm Mine produced around 3.93 million tonnes with grades of 1.25% nickel, 0.67% copper and 0.05% cobalt.
Gabbro complexes such as these are known to be prospective for magmatic nickel copper sulphide deposits.
The Warren Property also hosts significant copper mineralisation in a felsic volcanic package located along the KGC western edge, representing a secondary target with potential for copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits.
Last month, Mink Ventures signed a drill contract for its Warren Project to begin the second phase of its 2026 exploration programme.
Canadian mineral exploration company Mink Ventures focuses on critical minerals in Ontario. The company’s Montcalm project covers nearly 104km² near Glencore’s former Montcalm Mine.
