 LionOre geologists credited the discovery to recognition of the electromagnetic response and drilling of the anomaly, however it is widely recognised that the initial discovery was based upon literature research and the fact that in the late 1970s and 1980s Union Miniere/Anaconda relinquished the tenements in a period of unfavorably low nickel prices.Reassessment of the geophysical signature at Maggie Hays indicates that the hangingwall banded iron formation is as conductive as the massive sulfides, and that on this basis, as well as the steep orientation of the massive nickel sulfides, Maggie Hays is essentially blind to discovery.The Emily Ann orebody is situated approximately 1200 m north of the Maggie Hays orebody and was drilled first in 1998 after a prolonged and saturated effort to electromagnetically prospect the entire prospective belt.
