Hale Lake is located 55 km southwest of Highbank Lake and 40 east-north-east of the Norton Lake Ni-Cu-PGE Deposit operated by East-West Resources and Cascadia Resources. The Norton Lake deposit currently has a indicated and measured resource of 2.3 million tonnes @ 0.67% Ni, 0.61% Cu and 0.47 g/t Pd. The Hale Lake target is ideally situated along a major regional structure that may be part of Oxford-Stull terrain boundary.
The target at Hale Lake are two bodies interpreted from regional airborne magnetic to be possible ultramafic intrusions. Both bodies contain zones of significantly higher magnetic susceptibility that could be caused by nickel bearing sulphides.
