NEW NICKEL DISCOVERY EAST OF NOVA First drill hole into gravity anomaly intersects broad zone of mineralisation Sirius Resources NL (ASX:SIR) (“Sirius” or the “Company”) advises that it has discovered a thick new zone of sulphide mineralisation located approximately 200 metres east of the Nova deposit, which it has today named “Bollinger”. Hole SFRD0167 has intersected 125 metres of mineralisation so far and is still in mineralisation at the time of writing: ? 80 metres of mainly disseminated sulphide, followed by; ? 28 metres of mainly stringer sulphide, followed by; ? 5 metres of mainly massive sulphide, followed by; ? 12 metres of matrix, net and breccia sulphide (to the end of the hole) Although laboratory assays will not be available for some time, the mineralisation is visibly similar to that at Nova, with coarse grained pentlandite (nickel sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) as shown in Figures 1 to 3. This hole is located a further 200 metres east of the holes announced on 25th February (that intersected a sulphide breccia zone thought to be a potential feeder zone), and 200 metres southeast of the centre of conductor 5. It is open in all directions (see Figures 4 and 5).
