The channel sampling results and nickel mineralization encountered in historical drilling (1965, 1994) correlate with two well developed discrete conductors identified by the Company’s recent airborne Geotech VTEM^TM Plus geophysical program conducted over the property (Figure 1).  Importantly, it appears that only the margins of these conductors have been drill tested historically with the Company planning a diamond drilling program to test the strongest portions of the conductors with the aim of identifying higher-grade mineralization.

A Message from David Suda, CEO of Green Bridge Metals

“Green Bridge is excited to drill test these highly prospective bulk-tonnage nickel targets that are defined by the recent VTEM airborne survey and sampling efforts. We are very encouraged by the scale of the conductivity anomalies, and the fact that historical work only tested the margins of the target. Current sampling has clearly validated the presence of wide intervals of nickel mineralization that was indicated by historical efforts. The exploration target at Puddy has unique nickel-oxide mineralization that is potentially readily amenable to extraction by simple processing technologies.”

Summary of Geophysical Survey

In July 2024, Geotech Ltd. performed an airborne electromagnetic (EM) using the VTEM^TM Plus (versatile time-domain electromagnetic) system. A total of 235-line kilometers were flown at a spacing of 100 meters with a predominant north-south orientation. The survey has provided two clear distinct conductors as drill targets that are associated with nickel mineralization both within the channel samples and/or historical drilling.  The southern conductor is over 2 kilometers long and over 500 meters wide and is associated with channel samples of 110 m of 0.23% nickel (Table 1) and historical drilling of 122.6 m of 0.25% nickel (Table 2). In addition, a separate discrete conductor has been identified to the north of Puddy Lake that is approximately 1.0 kilometers in length by 200 m in width. This conductor remains largely untested by historical drilling with the exception of a drill hole that was 76 m of 0.12% nickel that was located on the western-most margin of the conductor. Collectively, these two conductors provide clear drill targets with the Company currently conducting 3D inversions of the VTEM survey to aid in designing an upcoming drill program. 

Summary of Sampling Program

 A total of 181 sawn channel samples representing 181.9 m of channel sampling were analyzed from 3 known surface showings of Ni-Fe-Co oxide mineralization at Puddy lake, Thunder Bay Mining Division, NW Ontario. Sampling was done at the Commerce East Occurrence (110.4 m) on claims 282629 and 290692, the Commerce West Occurrence (55.5 m) on claim 106245 and the Commerce Far West Occurrence (16.0 m) on claim 282627.

The average assay value of the channel samples is 2,326 ppm Ni with a high value of 3,370 ppm Ni. The Puddy serpentinite has high Fe contents with the average of all channels being 9.2% Fe and a high value of 36.1% Fe. Cobalt averages 100 ppm with a high value of 508 ppm Co. Locally anomalous PGM values up to 224 ppb Pt with 54 ppb Pd were determined at the Commerce East location. 

QA/QC – Channel samples were obtained with a gas-powered portable rock saw with a diamond blade after removing loose surface rubble with shovel and power washing. Sawn channel samples nominally 1.0 m in length were analyzed by sodium peroxide fusion with inductively coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (ICPMS) analysis for multi-elements and fire assay with inductively coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES) analysis for Au, Pt, Pd at Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs) located in Ancaster, Ontario. A QA/QC program was implemented using 7 duplicates, 7 blanks and 6 CDN-ME-2001 CRMs. Surface samples are continuous channel samples and are selective insofar as they sample available outcrop.
