Argosy acquires an Option over a potential Offset Dike Property

in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada

·

The 2.88 km² group of claims (“Fish Creek”) are located in Nairn Township, 50 km southwest of Sudbury

·

Argosy will be targeting offset dike-hosted nickel-copper-platinum group metal sulphide mineralisation

Fish Creek is located 10 km along strike from the Mystery Offset Dike

Argosy Minerals Inc. (ASX: AGY) has entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the Fish Creek Property located in Nairn Township, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada.  

Situated approximately 50 km southwest of Sudbury the property is positioned over a possible southwest extension of the “Mystery Offset Dike” exposed some 10 km to the northeast.  The Mystery Offset Dike currently being explored by Crowflight Minerals Inc, is described as being an extension of the Worthington Offset Dike on which Inco’s Totten deposit is located.  Inco has reported a probable ore reserve of 7.4 million tonnes grading 1.51% nickel, 2.10% copper and 4.9 g/t combined platinum, palladium and gold (PPG”) at Totten.  Inco is currently studying the feasibility of new mine developments at Totten and also on another offset dike property, Kelly Lake, where Inco has reported a probable ore reserve of 5.9 million tonnes grading 2.07% nickel, 1.38% copper and 4.2 g/t PPG.

Offsets are dike-like bodies of quartz diorite that have been interpreted as infilling major fracture zones.  These dikes are known to occur both radiating from and concentric to the Sudbury Igneous Complex (“SIC”).  The 1.85 billlion year old SIC, together with surrounding dike-hosted deposits is described as the largest known concentration of nickel-copper sulphides in the world.  Inco’s current Copper Cliff North and Copper Cliff South mining operations are on a mineralised offset dike.  

In the 2006 exploration program at Fish Creek, Argosy will be targeting offset dike-hosted sulphide mineralization.  Initial work will consist of mapping, trenching and ground geophysics.  

Covering 2.88 km² in area, the property consists of 2 claims containing a total of 18 claim units each 400m by 400m in area.  Argosy can earn 100% of the project through staged cash payments totaling C$100,000 and completing staged work commitments over three years of C$21,600.  On
