Excellent post Shadders and your reference to the BHP Kambalda nickel deposit is even more intriguing especially in light of:

1. BHP drilling on these tenaments and
2. Wikipedia "Komatite" entry referring to the recognition of the economic importance of Komatite in the discovery of massive nickel sulphides at (you guessed it} Kambalda in the 1960's.

Economic Importance

The economic importance of komatiite was first widely recognised in the early 1960s with the discovery of massive nickel sulfide mineralisation at Kambalda, Western Australia. Komatiite-hosted nickel-copper sulfide mineralisation today accounts for about 14% of the world's nickel production, mostly from Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Komatiites are associated with nickel and gold deposits in Australia, Canada, South Africa and most recently in the Guiana shield of South America."
