Michael Rowley, President and CEO of Stillwater Critical Minerals (TSX.V: PGE – OTCQB: PGEZF) joins us for an update on the recent Company name change and to unpack further exploration plans at their flagship Stillwater West Project in Montana. We start off by getting a sense of the renewed US focus on critical minerals, and the robust suite of energy metals found in the Stillwater West Project, such as nickel, copper, and cobalt, in addition to the precious metals of platinum, palladium, rhodium, and gold.
Next Mike pointed out the parallels to the platreef style deposits found in the Bushveld complex in South Africa, as an analog to the type of polymetallic deposit and similar geological events that caused the mineralization. The company has also recently made two personnel hires that are proficient in this type of mineralization that he highlights. Danie Grobler as Vice-President Exploration and Albie Brits as Senior Geologist, where Dr. Grobler and Mr. Brits both have extensive senior level experience from more than two decades of advancing major deposits on the northern limb of the Bushveld Igneous Complex.
We wrap up looking forward at the exploration plan on tap for 2022 with 10,000 meters planned to continue expanding resources at the the Chrome Mountain area at Hybrid and DR, and potentially connecting the 450 meter area between those 2 zones, along with the CZ area, and the HGR target at the Iron Mountain area. There are also still 5 more holes from the Iron Mountain area, of the 14 holes from the 2021 drill program that have not been returned yet that will be released in the near future. Once those 2021 drill results are in place, then the work will be done to update the resource estimate at the Stillwater West project.
