Mansa Exploration Inc. announced it has now commenced a 726 line-km VTEMTM airborne geophysical survey on its 100% owned Wheeler Ni-Cu-PGE Property located in southwestern Newfoundland. The survey is being flown by Geotech Ltd. on northeast-southwest oriented lines spaced 200m apart, targeting nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE mineralization hosted within a large mafic/ultramafic complex located at tidewater. The survey will collect both magnetic and time- domain electromagnetic data across the Property, targeting potential bodies of massive sulphide mineralization associated with anomalous conductivity and magnetic susceptibility. The Company expects to receive preliminary results in the coming weeks and plans to use the data to design a Phase II program on the Property, consisting of geological mapping, prospecting and potentially the flying of infill lines. The goal of Phase I and II work is to generate targets that will allow the Company to design an inaugural diamond-drilling program on the Property, which will test geophysical anomalies detected by the VTEMTM system. The Wheeler Property is approximately 30 kilometres north-northeast of the town of Stephenville, near the southern extent of the Bay of Islands ophiolite complex. It covers layered ultramafic and mafic intrusions that are prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE (nickel-copper-platinum-group- element) mineralization, as well as chromite mineralization occurring as discrete layers within the ultramafic complex. Lenses of magmatic sulphide Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization were first discovered on the Wheeler Property in the 1930s by J.R. Cooper1. A Geological Survey of Canada mapping program conducted in 1962 located additional layered magmatic sulphide occurrences as well as multiple chromite-rich lenses located near the southern part of the Wheeler Property boundary. In 2010, an exploration alliance between Cliffs Natural Resource Exploration Inc. and Altius Resources Inc., carried out extensive stream-sediment sampling on a multitude of ultramafic ophiolite complexes throughout the island of Newfoundland, specifically in search of a rare Ni-Fe (nickel-iron) alloy called awaruite, which can form during the serpentinization of nickel-rich olivine in ultramafic rocks. Altius collected 367 stream-sediment samples by helicopter within the current Wheeler Property boundary. Strongly anomalous nickel, copper, cobalt and chromium values were returned in the northeastern portion of the Wheeler Property, but high sulphur values deterred further exploration3. The presence of sulphur reduces the likelihood of awaruite forming but enhances the potential for the presence of magmatic nickel-sulphide mineralization on the Wheeler Property. In addition to the Altius-Cliffs sampling, the Wheeler Property also contains the locations of extremely anomalous lake-sediment samples collected as part of the Newfoundland and Labrador government's reconnaissance lake-sediment sampling program (a 17,228 sample database) including the four high nickel values in the province with values of 4,980, 4,750, 4,390 and 4,230 parts per million (ppm) Ni (nickel). Three lake-sediment results on the Property are in the 99.93- percentile for copper at 324, 312 and 296ppm Cu (copper), five are in the 99.88- percentile for cobalt at 347, 301, 392, 556 and 333 ppm Co (cobalt), and six are in the 99.94-percentile for chromium at 5,770, 5,140, 4,560, 4,000, 3,610 and 3,560 ppm Cr (chromium)4. Additional details and QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) procedures for the survey can be found online. The Wheeler Property covers the southern extent of the Bay of Islands ophiolite complex, which was obducted onto the Laurentian rifted margin during the mid-Ordovician and is composed of mafic and ultramafic assemblages dominated by gabbros, pyroxenites and peridotites. The target on the Wheeler Property is magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE (possibly accompanied by Co and Cr) mineralization hosted within a layered mafic intrusion, similar to Norilsk in Russia, Lynn Lake and Namew Lake in Manitoba, Nkomati in South Africa, and Voisey's Bay in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Historically documented occurrences on the Wheeler Property consist of both net- textured pentlandite (nickel sulphide) and PGE-rich chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) mineralization, indicating that the minerals formed within a magma chamber.
