Summary
Watch Youtube Richard Williams, MSc (MinEx) of Winshear Metals joins Vox to give a detailed breakdown of the potential on offer at the company's assets in Scotland and Canada. The Portsoy project, near Aberdeen, is highly prospective for nickel, copper and cobalt, as recent and ongoing drilling is highlighting. The area was first worked in joint venture between Anglo and Rio half a century ago, but access issues prevented any meaningful follow-up, until now. The accuracy of historic work has been verified, and new work is set to prove up two zones initially, with the potential in time, says Williams, for developing a district-scale area. The Canadian gold projects are earlier stage, but a full exploration programme this year should set them up for drilling this year. And in the meantime, the mining markets continue to look favourable, as countries, including the UK focus on securing critical minerals supply
