Huntsman Exploration Inc. announced the recent results from its drilling at its 100% owned Canegrass Nickel Project in Western Australia. The recent drilling has provided an important platform from which the company can now focus on targeting mineralisation at depth across the key prospects, particularly Tulloch. In total 7 holes have now been drilled and cased in preparation for downhole electro magnetic (DHEM) with the Company in the final stages of selecting a contractor to perform the works.

The Tenement E59/2119 covers an area of over 26km2 extending over part of the Windimurra Igneous Complex, a large differentiated layered ultramafic to mafic intrusion emplaced within the Yilgarn craton of Western Australia. It is conical to a sheetlike body intruded into the Archaean granitegreenstone terrain of the Murchison Province. It outcrops over an area of approximately 2500 km2 and has an age of approximately 2800 Ma.

The complex is dominantly comprised of basic cumulate rocks that can broadly be classified as gabbroic in composition. Magmatic layering dips inwards at the margins and flattens in the centre. It is dissected by large scale strikeslip shear zones so that the original extent of the complex is unknown.

The Windimurra Igneous Complex is part of a much larger suite of similarly layered ultramafic to mafic bodies emplaced between 27002800Ma across the Murchison Province. Collectively, these complexes are similar in thickness, volume, and composition to the Bushveld Igneous Complex of South Africa.
