Auroch Minerals (AOU) has signed a drilling contract to lock in a drill rig for the next 12 months.
Auroch has contracted Seismic Drilling Services for drilling programs over the next year across its three high-grade nickel sulphide assets.
These assets include the Nepean, Leinster and Saints Nickel Projects, all located in the nickel-endowed Norseman–Wiluna Greenstone Belt in WA.
Seismic will dedicate a LMP 2000 multipurpose drill rig to Auroch’s nickel sulphide portfolio. This will allow the company to drill both reverse circulation and diamond drill-holes using the same rig across 20,000 metres of drilling.
Currently this drill rig is on site at the Nepean Nickel Project, completing a 3500-metre reverse circulation program.
“It is currently very difficult to source and contract drill rigs in Western Australia, so being able to lock a rig in for the next year is a great achievement,” said Auroch Managing Director Aidan Platel.
“The flexibility that comes with a multi-rig being able to drill both reverse circulation and diamond holes will be invaluable when tackling the wide range of drill-holes we have planned for this year across all three nickel sulphide assets. Importantly, the rig will undertake both resource drilling as well as exploring high-potential targets for possible new high-grade nickel sulphide discoveries.”
