The latest drilling results further support the commencement of the second phase resource drill program at Redback.
The team is on the hunt for a Kambalda-style nickel discovery just 25 kilometres from BHP’s nickel concentrator.
The Hilditch West nickel target remains a priority target for the company given the anomalous nickel intersections, confirmed nickel sulphide mineralogy and the proximal conductor which has not been adequately tested by legacy drilling.
The Stockwork resource estimate has boosted the global mineral resource estimate across the Spargoville project by 21%.
The junior explorer is out to define the prospectivity of one of its highest priority targets with a geophysical survey as it hunts for Kambalda-style nickel mineralisation in WA.
A diamond drill contractor has been secured for upcoming resource drill programs at Wattle Dam, Redback and drill-testing of the Hilditch West nickel target, expected on-site by the end of September.
The S&P/ASX 200 share index had fallen 0.83% to a 7-day low of 7519.80 and was on track for its first two-day fall and biggest-one-day fall in the past four weeks.
The funds will be used to accelerate its gold and nickel strategy across the Spargoville tenements in Western Australia’s Kambalda region, near Pantoro’s Norseman project.
The insurers have finalised their review of the claim and have determined damages after application of excess and costs.
The company’s geologists are encouraged by the prospectivity of the new EM target in light of recent nickel sulphide intersections, proximal to the interpreted lower conductance plate.
The company’s drilling program significantly upgrades Hilditch West as a polymetallic target with significant mineralisation encountered in four of the six holes drilled in both oxidised and sulphide material.
The company’s 900-metre RC campaign will target the shallow extents of Redback high-grade gold shoot along from the Wattle Dam mine.
The FLEM geophysics survey aims to define prospective zones for nickel sulphide mineralisation before drill testing.
The company is targeting an expansive domain of fuchsite altered volcanic and metasedimentary rocks, coincident with a significant gold-in-soil anomaly.
The drill program includes regional exploration gold targets at Yilmia and Karramindie, and resource extension and infill drilling at the Larkinville project.
The Larkinville drilling is part of a multi-target ~4,000-metre drill program, targeting several near-mine and regional exploration gold targets across the Spargoville tenements.
Its initial focus will be on drilling at both the Yilmia and Karramindie gold targets, which are incorporated into a larger 4,000 metres RC program.
The drilling across regional exploration targets is incorporated into a larger 4,000 metres reverse circulation (RC) program that includes mineral resource drilling at both the Wattle Dam Gold Mine remnant stockwork mineralisation and the L
Due to the proximity of several targets, the Redback drill program was completed in conjunction with other programs at Wattle Dam, including S5 Prospect, Wattle Dam South, Redback linking structure and the Wattle Dam East nickel target.
Exploration reverse circulation drilling targeting Redback, Wattle Dam North and regional gold targets, Yilmia and Karramindie, is expected to begin later this month.
