Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. reports that drilling has began on the Burwash Yukon project.

The Burwash property hosts nickel-copper-platinum group element (PGE) mineralization related to intrusions of the Late Triassic Kluane Mafic-Ultramafic Suite that were emplaced during a period of uplift and extension related to widespread basaltic volcanism.

The focus of the 2008 drill program was:

on targets identified during April 2008 and June 2008, programs of ground geophysics. These targets were developed on the Big Nic property as a follow-up on a number of geophysical anomalies that were identified through reprocessing of previous airborne geophysical data and previous geological mapping and sampling.
