Ann: Rockford Seismic Programmes Progress at Mawson and Octagonal, page-74

Agree. I think IGO might have influenced them to do the seismic as they are doing a lot of innovative exploration. Have a look at their recently lodged annual report.

They say that exploration is often historically shallow based and the electromagnetics most rely on is not great if there is considerable transported cover which can confound analysis. If you look at the seismic for Mawson you can see this transported sediment cover there.

The other issue is that nickel is often deep so that, again, "normal" exploration can be hit and miss. So the idea is to look deep with techniques that don't cost megabucks.

Having said this, let's see, but I support the approach. But in the end you have to have prospective territory. And we have that in spades in the FR.

Cheers
