Giga Metals Corp. (TSXV:GIGA) has completed its 2022 geotechnical site investigations on the company’s Turnagain Nickel/Cobalt Project in British Columbia, Canada.
The 2022 work programme included:
- Five helicopter-supported combination 4” Sonic/HQ geotechnical holes totalling 415 metres within the proposed tailings storage main and saddle dam alignments.
- Eighteen excavator test pits within the proposed stockpile and waste storage areas.
“The successful acquisition of this geotechnical information will allow us to advance engineering of the Turnagain project to the Pre-Feasibility level of detail,” said CEO Mark Jarvis.
“The combination Sonic/HQ geotechnical drilling allows for the efficient characterisation of both overburden and bedrock geotechnical parameters in support of PFS-level tailings storage facility design.
“The data collected in this programme, when interpreted alongside the seismic refraction survey conducted in 2021, will significantly add to our understanding and will allow for refined tailings storage design engineering.
“Similarly, the 18 excavator test pits in the proposed stockpile and waste storage areas complement our existing understanding derived from prior work in the area.”
