Strategic Energy Resources Limited announced that a detailed ground gravity survey has commenced over the northern section of the Canobie Domain in northwest Queensland. SER's Canobie Project comprises eight exploration licences covering over 1,800km within the Mt Isa Eastern Succession, bounded to the east by the Quamby fault/Gidyea Suture Zone. The Eastern Succession hosts several significant deposits to the south including Evolution Mining's Ernest Henry Copper-Gold mine.

In December 2021, SER drilling intersected wide intervals of ultramafics with disseminated sulphides, plus narrow nickel-bearing semi massive sulphides at the Kalarka Prospect within the Canobie Project. This demonstrated the potential for Canobie to host significant Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation. Sulphide mineralisation is potentially located within confined zones within the host intrusion known as "chonoliths".

Existing gravity data maps the geometry of mafic intrusion (density highs) which extends to the north and south. The current gravity survey covers the northern end of the intrusion, increasing the resolution of gravity data from 2km spacing to 1km x 500m with zones of 250m infill over key targets, as well as infilling to the south. The increased resolution will allow detailed mapping of the intrusion geometry to identify the zones favourable for nickel-copper sulphides.

The survey is set to be completed in early September, with results released as part of the review of the Canobie Ni-Cu Project.
