The presence of conductive anomalies hints at substantial sulfide mineralization extending deep into the floor rocks, signaling strong potential for discovery.The discussion highlights Stillwater’s expertise in mafic-ultramafic intrusions, including collaboration with renowned geologist Professor Wolfgang Maya, and the immense scale of the deposits, which may connect over a 10-kilometer strike across five main deposits.
