Duketon Mining Ltd (ASX:DKM) is progressing well with drilling at the Rosie Nickel Project with 13 drill holes now complete and encouraging mineralisation intersected in all holes.
The most recent drill hole, DKDD0024, intersected 12.5 metres of mineralisation including 70 centimetres of massive sulphide, 1.1 metres of stringer sulphides and 2.8 metres of heavily disseminated/blebby sulphides.
The drilling program
The drilling program at Rosie Project is designed to increase confidence in mineralisation in the upper north area.
It is also designed to test at depth below the south-eastern area, previously known as Nariz, and to collect PGE-rich oxide material from directly above the sulphide deposit for assay and PGE recovery/metallurgical test-work.
Mineralisation in all holes
The company has identified three areas from the Rosie nickel sulphide scoping study as having potential upside by either impacting early cash flow or extending the life of mine.
Duketon has completed drilling of 13 holes at the project and intersected mineralisation in all holes.
It also continues to drill deep holes below the south-eastern area, which is scheduled to start within the next week.
The company is expecting the first batch of assays to be available in the next four weeks.
