HIGH GRADE NI, CU, AU & PGE'S RESULTS CONFIRM NEW MASSIVE SULPHIDE
ZONE AT RADIO HILL
* 9 metres @ 3.2% nickel equivalent
including 4 metres @ 6.3% nickel equivalent from 109
metres.
* 50 metres along strike 30 metres @ 1.4% nickel equivalent
including 3 metres @ 5.5% nickel equivalent from 91 metres.
* New zone accessible to existing Radio Hill decline and
treatment plant.
* Drilling continues along strike of the new zone.
Details of massive sulphide intersected greater than 3.5% nickel are

The Companys first reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme at
Radio Hill has been extended following the intersection of high-grade
massive sulphide mineralisation in two holes. The best intersections
were 4 metres @ 3.2% nickel, 6.9% copper, 5.4g/t gold, 6.0 g/t
palladium and 2.0g/t platinum (6.3% nickel equivalent) from 109
metres in RAHRC4 and 3 metres @ 4.8% nickel and 3.5% copper (5.5%
nickel equivalent) from 91 metres in drillhole RAHRC3.
These intersections are contained within a broader halo of
disseminated sulphide mineralisation that averaged 1.6% nickel and
4.0% copper (3.2% nickel equivalent) over 9 metres from 108 metres in
RAHRC4 and 30 metres @ 0.9% nickel and 1.5% copper (1.4% nickel
equivalent) from 75 metres in drillhole RAHRC3. The intersections
reported are down-hole lengths as the true width is unknown.
This new nickel sulphide discovery at Radio Hill has great
significance for its potential to increase the existing nickel
reserves and extend the mine life of the Radio Hill nickel mine. This
new zone is accessible with minimal development of the existing
decline and can be treated at the Radio Hill Plant.
As a result of this discovery, step out drilling has been undertaken
to test the strike and down dip extension of the new zone
mineralisation.
The drillholes tested a poorly defined zone of massive and
disseminated nickel-copper- PGEs sulphide mineralisation located 200
metres west of the main mineralised trend. The mineralisation is
hosted by gabbroic units of the Radio Hill layered intrusion. Limited
drilling in this area by Fox suggests that the mineralisation forms a
shoot that runs parallel to the ore zones previously mined by Titan
and Agip.
Follow up exploration using the latest geophysical and geological
techniques together with an experienced exploration team will enhance
the ability to make further successful discoveries at Radio Hill.
The details of the drillholes are as follows:
HOLE LOCAL EAST LOCAL NORTH DEPTH DIP AZIMUTH
NUMBER METRES (LOCAL)
RAHRC4 6720 4050 157 -60 270
RAHRC3 6710 4100 200 -60 270
Samples were assayed by AMDEL using fire method FA3 for Au, Pd and Pt
and method IC3B for Ni and Cu. Over-range Ni and cu samples were
re-assayed using metallurgical digest Met1.
