Auroch ekes out more nickel sulphides at Nepean

Thu, 25 November 2021 4:22PM

Auroch Minerals’ Nepean nickel project in Western Australia is starting to bear more fruit, with the second diamond drill hole sunk into the Nepean Deeps target area intersecting 12.5 metres of disseminated and matrix to semi-massive nickel sulphide mineralisation from 576.8m. The company says the anomaly lies just below a down-hole electromagnetic conductor divined from its initial Nepean drill hole.

The mineralised zone was discovered within a 76.15m intersection of ultramafics from 534.65-610m down hole and is interpreted to be an underexplored sill ultramafic that lies immediately west of the mine sequence.
