Laverton Downs diamond drilling
With the Lake Wells project advancing, Australian Potash has also begun mobilising to site at its Laverton Downs Project ahead of a diamond drilling program.
Priority targets have been determined by Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) surveying while 450 shallow legacy drill holes have also been located and sampled.
Nickel sulphide fertile komatiite rocks were interpreted from geochemistry as part of a detailed project evaluation by CSA Global.
This all available data including regional datasets, detailed magnetic data and high precision geochemical assay results derived from bottom of hole drill samples.
Additional sampling of legacy drilling bottom of hole spoils has expanded the geochemistry footprint and added to the existing interpretation.
