About the Love Lake Copper-Nickel-Palladium Project

The Peter Lake Domain in northern Saskatchewan is the largest mafic/ultramafic complex in North America second only to the Midcontinent Rift in Minnesota and Ontario, host to numerous magmatic copper/nickel and platinum/palladium deposits. For over 250km of the Peter Lake Domain numerous copper/nickel and platinum/palladium showings have been uncovered over the past fifty years that have received only sporadic exploration. 

Forum staked 30,834 hectares of the Love Lake Complex in 2019, a 2.56 billion year old, palladium enriched layered gabbroic intrusive (Figure 1). Historic trenching has returned values as high as 4275 ppb Palladium, 3580 ppb Platinum and 200 ppb Gold, along with 0.43% Copper and 0.23% Nickel from a grab sample. Drilling on the property in 1969 intersected 31.7 metres of 0.23% copper and 36.6 metres of 0.29% copper. 

Dr. Larry Hulbert, Forum’s Geological Advisor for the Love Lake Project and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release.
