Lainejaur Drilling Commenced

Bayrock Resources announced the commencement of diamond drilling at the high-grade Nickel-Cobalt-Copper Lainejaur project in northern Sweden. Drilling is testing an area of the Lainejaur project that has previously seen high-grade intersections, e.g. 9m@ 2.1% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.17% Co, 0.5g/t Au. The Lainejaur deposit was mined historically with a 2018 JORC-compliant estimate establishing an inferred mineral resource of 460 000t @ 2.2% Ni, 0.15% Cu, 0.15% Co, 0.7% Cu, 0.68g/t Pd, 0.2g/t Pt and 0.65g/t Au for the remaining mineralization. The deposit remains open down dip.
