Buxton Resources (ASX: BUX) has started acquiring ground electromagnetic surveys over 14 interpreted bedrock conductors at its Widowmaker nickel-copper project identified in the previous heli-borne VTEM survey.
These surveys are designed to further define the orientation and geometry of bedrock conductors at the project in Fraser Range, Western Australia, and should take between three to six weeks to complete.
Clearer definition and modelling of the bedrock conductors will increase the chance of success for the planned drilling program which will start as soon as practically possible after the ground EM survey is complete.
Buxton has also secured a $150,000 drilling grant from the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme Co-funded Drilling Program.
This will be used to partially fund a first pass drilling program to test bedrock VTEM/ground EM anomalies for nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation.
Buxton has also received heritage clearance from the Ngadju People, who found no sites or items of archaeological or Aboriginal interest over the entire Widowmaker tenement after carrying out a survey in December.
This clears the way for future exploration work programs to go ahead.
