Ann: Lake Goongarrie Nickel Sulphide Drilling Completed, page-63

Thanks for posting that again.

Yes 3,000 metres of drilling across 7 drill lines has turned into 7,788 across 15 drill lines!!

Also Ed states at 5:13
"In the north it's still under the lake, so there's a few challenges in drilling it like with Sir Laurence"

Yet if you read KWR announcement dated March 21 you will see that of the 15 lines drilled for nickel 9 of those 15 lines are actually drilled north of the Sir Laurence discovery??

That tells me that gaining access to that part of the lake wasn't an issue regarding rain or to boggy the conditions.

So having this purpose built diamond drill rig available shortly opens up a world of opportunities to test 8-9 klm of the known fertile Highway Ultramafic that sits below Lake Goongarrie.
Refer to my previous post as we venture where no nickel drilling has ever ventured before.
Bit like the Hubble telescope really!!

It really is exciting times for the future with KWR.

"Some of the world's largest komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide and lateritic deposits occur in Australia, predominantly in Western Australia. In 2012, Australia was the largest holder of economic nickel resources in the world with approximately 25% of global resources.
Australia's nickel production is dominated by komatiite deposits (82%) that are associated with Archean (>2 500 million years old) greenstone sequences.
Australian komatiite-hosted and layered mafic-ultramafic intrusion nickel deposits usually occur in Archean cratons or Proterozoic orogens and, therefore, are largely confined to the older crustal components of Western Australia, such as the Eastern Goldfields Province and the Yilgarn Craton, and of South Australia (Figure 3.18). Western Australia is the largest holder of nickel resources with about 90% of total Australian economic resources, followed by New South Wales with 5%, Queensland with 4% and Tasmania with less than 1%"

"The Scotia Nickel deposit was discovered around 1968 by John Jones, self-trained in geology, and a pastoralist from the nearby Hampton Hill Station. He went onto become general manager of the mine. It was an underground operation, ceasing in 1977 after a major underground collapse. During this time it produced 1.4 million tonnes of ore at 2.2% grade Ni. It is a small komatiite hosted massive sulphide Fe-Ni-Cu deposit 65 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie. It is just north of Broad Arrow, on the eastern side of the Goldfields Highway, and 15 kilometres further north are the related the St Patricks and St Andrews nickel prospects.

The area contains a lower sequence of mafic rocks, separated by andesitic sediments from an upper sequence of ultramafic komatiites, intruded by tonalitic granitoids. The mafic sequence is dominated by tholeiitic Mg basalts, minor horizons of peridotite, high Mg basalt, **bro and low Mg basalt. The andesitic sediment at the lower boundary of the ultramafic sequence hosts the nickel sulphide, and was eroded from a nearby calc-alkaline volcanic centre."
