off the website and youtube and worth a second look (8/5/2018)
metallurgy , costings proximity etc...premium con
interesting to also note WSA thought it worthy to also announce phase2 drilling at Investigators also
this still intrigues me (21/05/2018 ann.) ...
Drill hole MAD96 was completed earlier in the current drill programme about 220m north-east of MAD71. MAD96 did not intersect any sulphide mineralisation. However, a DHEM survey in MAD96 identified a strong off-hole EM conductor approximately 20m to the south-west of MAD96.
MAD104 was designed to test the off-hole EM conductor with modelling predicting that the conductor would be intersected 70m downhole. MAD104 was completed to a downhole depth of 91m and successfully intersected 6.25m of sulphide mineralisation comprising the following intervals:
• 67.2m to 68.14m: 0.94m of matrix and some semi-massive sulphides
• 68.14m to 68.9m: 0.76m of moderate-strong disseminated and some matrix sulphides
• 68.9m to 70.11m: 1.21m of matrix and semi-massive sulphides
• 70.11m to 73.45m: 3.34m of massive sulphide (average XRF of 5.5%Ni, 1.7%Cu)
The results for MAD104 are very significant for exploration at Stricklands as the massive sulphides intersected in MAD104 were not identified by the ground-based EM surveys completed at Stricklands - including the ground-based SAMSON and moving loop EM (MLEM) surveys undertaken by St George in 2016 and the SQUID high temperature fixed loop EM (FLEM) survey completed by BHP in 2010.
The massive sulphides intersected in MAD104 are interpreted to be relatively flat-lying and occur at a shallow depth 60m (vertically) below surface, both favourable features for detection by previous groundbased EM surveys.
The implication is that there is potential for further sulphide mineralisation to be present along the Stricklands ultramafic (and potentially at the other prospects along the Cathedrals Belt) that has not been detected by surface EM surveys. With mineralisation at Stricklands open to the west, north and east – and areas with minimal drilling and DHEM surveys completed – there is potential for further significant mineralisation to be discovered
and is the elephant in the room (anywhere anytime and the unseeable if thats a word ) and thankfully we are surrounded by large tenements and why a systematic dhem approach is essential though it might be a bit slower
looking forward to reading some grad papers on this one in a few years time once fully deciphered.
there are many unique and different nickel mines around the world
glad to be apart of this one
drillbit(s) turning
Good Fortune to all
