What makes Sirius significant is that it is a discovery based on the careful application of science as well as a dash of the luck often needed to turn a bright idea into a possible mine – and a mine into an entirely new mineralised province, which is why Nova is being taken so seriously.
It is the combination of science and luck which led to the discovery hole, which revealed a four-metre section assaying 3.8% nickel and 1.42% copper (both considered ore-grade) with the potential to also contain platinum group metals when assays for those elements are conducted.
As a cocktail of minerals, nickel, copper and platinum are associated with some of the world’s biggest ore bodies created by major geological intrusions. The giant Bushveld complex in South Africa is the mother-of-all “intrusives”, producing most of the world’s platinum and a fair proportion of its chromium.
