Green Bridge Metals Corporation to Conduct Airborne VTEM Survey at Chrome Puddy Project to Delineate Drill Targets
Green Bridge Metals has engaged Geotech to conduct a helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Plus) and magnetic survey at the Chrome Puddy Project in Thunder Bay, Ontario. This survey aims to identify drill targets linked to nickel mineralization found in historical drill holes and refine untested conductors from a previous 2000 survey. The survey, covering 224 line-km at 100 m spacing, is set for completion in July 2024.
CEO David Suda expressed optimism about the VTEM survey refining drill targets and advancing the project to drill stage by Q4 2024. The Chrome Puddy property, featuring nickel, copper, cobalt, and platinum group metals, spans a 6.5 km by 1.5 km ultramafic intrusion. Green Bridge also contracted A-Star Prospecting to establish a base camp and conduct channel sampling, continuing the work from the 2023 prospecting program that found elevated nickel values.
Geotech's VTEM™ Plus system will map geologic structures and variations in resistivity, aiding in identifying both sulphide and oxide mineralization targets. The results will finalize drill targets for an upcoming drilling program.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 9, 2024 / Green Bridge Metals Corporation (CNSX:GRBM)(OTCQB:GBMCF)(FWB:J48) (WKN: A3EW4S) ("Green Bridge" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario to carry out a helicopter-borne Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Plus) and magnetic geophysical survey of the Chrome Puddy ultramafic intrusion, located in the Thunder Bay Mining division, Ontario. The purpose of the survey is to delineate drill targets that are associated with nickel mineralization encountered in historical drill holes and to better define untested conductors defined in a historical (2000) airborne survey (Figure 1). The survey is anticipated to be completed in July 2024 and will consist of 224 line-km flown at 100 m line spacing for full coverage of the 1,546 ha Property.
David Suda, CEO of Green Bridge Metals, stated "Green Bridge is excited to launch a modern VTEM survey that we believe will refine several drill targets across the property and demonstrate the scale of the opportunity. Additional groundwork that we are conducting in the form of rocks sampling, channel sampling, and mapping in conjunction with airborne survey will provide the basis needed to get the project to drill stage in Q4 of this year."
The Chrome-Puddy Property is an EV metals project located 85 km north of the Lac des Iles Palladium Mine in the Thunder Bay Mining Division, Ontario with nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group metals mineralization hosted in a 6.5 km by 1.5 km ultramafic intrusion. The project has numerous historical drill targets that require refinement from the planned airborne survey. The VTEM™ Plus system and associated magnetic survey are well suited to the mineralization targets on the Property that include both Ni-Cu-PGM sulphide targets and bulk tonnage Ni-Co-Fe oxide mineralization with a historical resource.
Geotech Ltd.'s Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM™ Plus) system is designed to detect discrete conductive anomalies as well as map lateral and vertical variations in resistivity. A high-sensitivity cesium magnetometer flown in conjunction with the VTEM™ Plus facilitates mapping geologic structure and lithology. The system has a radar altimeter with an accuracy of approximately 1 meter of real time (WAAS) GPS Navigation System providing in-flight accuracy of up to 1.5 m.
Field Program - In addition to the geophysical surveys, Green Bridge has contracted A-Star Prospecting of Thunder Bay to establish a camp on Chrome Lake as a base for future drilling programs. A-Star Prospecting will also conduct channel sampling of outcrop exposures identified in the autumn 2023 prospecting program. The 2023 prospecting identified widespread elevated nickel values ranging from
Green Bridge anticipates that the VTEM™ Plussurveys and additional sampling will enable drill targets to be finalized for a subsequent drilling program.
