The RUM project encompasses six properties totalling 89 km2, approximately 150 kilometres northeast of Matagami, Québec in the Lac Rocher Nickel District.
The properties – RUM North, Northwest, West, South, Southeast and Central – cover a series of untested airborne magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies interpreted to represent mafic to ultramafic intrusive members of the Lac Rocher Intrusive Suite which are prospective for nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE deposits (Lac Rocher nickel deposit owned by Victory Nickel Inc. is located to the west).
NorthX believes that the RUM Project is prospective for mafic-ultramafic hosted, magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE) mineralization with a drill-ready Ni-sulphide showing (Bluenose Zone), and has geological similarities to the nearby Lac Rocher Ni deposit. NorthX believes that there may be multiple other untested airborne magnetic/VTEM targets spread across all the claim blocks at the RUM Project.
