Exploration resumes at Mulga Tank following weather break
Following a weather extended break, the Western Mines Group’s (WMG's) exploration team is back on site at Mulga Tank, in Western Australia, to further drilling.
The company has a combination of further reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling planned for the third quarter. This will be funded by the recent capital raise of A$1.54-million.
The RC drilling to date has been very good at quickly, and relatively cheaply, defining extensive disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation, and also encountered some shallow high-grade semi-massive sulphide results, says WMG MD Caedmon Marriott.
A Phase 3 RC programme has been designed to both follow up and extend mineralisation south of high-grade holes MTRC032 and MTRC038, along with further infill around hole MTRC016 and holes MTRC006 and MTRC034, attempting to link mineralisation in the core area across to holes MTD027 and MTRC019.
A down hole electromagnetic survey crew is en route to site for what will likely be a one- to two-week survey.
“The priority is to survey MTD029 (EIS3) but the team will also test previous deep diamond holes MTD027 and MTD028, as well as five of the RC holes that returned high-grade results. Positive results from the RC holes could open up further targets to test for thicker zones of the high-grade semi-massive sulphide mineralisation seen in these holes,” states Marriott.
Exploration results from the company’s various drilling programmes at Mulga Tank over the last 12 months have demonstrated significant nickel sulphide mineralisation and an extensive nickel sulphide mineral system within the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex.
