GT Resources Announces Diamond Drilling Underway on the Canalask Nickel-Copper Project
July 8, 2024 – Toronto, Ontario – GT Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GT, OTCQB: CGTRF, FRA: 7N1) (the “Company” or“GT Resources”)is pleased to announce drilling of the Electromagnetic (“EM”) targets at the Canalask Nickel-Copper Project is now underway.
“The first drill hole is well underway and is targeting a ~1000m x 400m EM Maxwell plate in the feeder dyke, proximal to the Historic Resource Estimate containing 1.35% nickel in 400kt (while abundant, copper was not historically reported). Given the strong EM response that we have, our target is massive sulphide (copper-nickel) mineralization in the main body of the feeder dyke.” stated Derrick Weyrauch, President and CEO.
Plans include drilling up to 2,000 meters plus conducting downhole EM surveys to locate massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralization (see news release January 16, 2024).

Exploration Target
The “White River Intrusive Complex” (WRIC) is a favourable setting for magmatic nickel-copper sulphide mineralization and is considered a “feeder system” with a high volume of magma flow. As evidenced by the abundance of magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE showings at the base of the WRIC and the discovery of the nickel-rich Canalask footwall deposit, the project hosts strong potential for both “magmatic feeder-type” basal deposits and “epigenetic footwall-type” footwall deposits. The geological setting draws comparison to the world-class Norilsk Ni-Cu-PGE camp.

Canalask Historical Resource Estimate
Readers are cautioned that the Company has not attempted to verify the historic mineral resource estimate and therefore readers should not place any reliance on the historical estimate. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resource.
Qualified Person
The technical information in this release has been reviewed and verified by Neil Pettigrew, M.Sc., P. Geo., Vice President of Exploration and a director of the Company and the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
