Western Magnetic Domain
An area within the Western Magnetic Domain is a high priority for exploration. It is a high priority to determine the nature of the rocks to assist in their geological interpretation. Petrographic thin sections of rocks collected during the
The landform in this area of the tenement is difficult with significant rocky hills and dense vegetation. Electromagnetic surveying will use a fixed loop electromagnetic (FLEM) configuration. If the survey identifies bedrock conductors that potentially represent accumulations of nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation, approvals will be sought to drill test the targets immediately.
Eastern Magnetic Domain
Most of the area in the east of the tenement is covered by soils, with limited outcrop. Weak but consistent nickel-copper in soil anomalies (collected by previous explorers on a wide sample spacing) together with magnetic anomalies may indicate a potentially fertile bedrock beneath the soil cover; possibly a suitable host for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation.
The landform in this area of the tenement provides relatively easy access. Electromagnetic surveying will use a moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) configuration. If the survey identifies bedrock conductors that potentially represent accumulations of nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation, approvals will be sought to drill test the targets immediately.
