NickelSearch Limited (ASX: NIS) has received promising assay results for the recent soil sampling programme in the Serendipity and B1 target areas, within the Carlingup Nickel Sulphide Project in Western Australia.
A total of 223 soil samples were taken over three high priority target areas which have returned promising results. They have highlighted significant nickel and coincident pathfinder anomalism over the target areas, including an exceptionally high soil nickel value of 3,900ppm (0.39%) Ni.
The results of this soil sampling programme combined with previous geological mapping and magnetic surveys will help guide the upcoming maiden drill programme at both Serendipity and B1.
“The latest round of soil sampling results continues to validate our greenfields exploration strategy across our extensive Carlingup tenure,” Managing Director, Nicole Duncan, said.
“Following the recent success at our Sexton target, we are excited to commence our maiden drill programs at both the Serendipity and B1 greenfields targets. The team is very eager to test Serendipity, given it extends over one km of strike and the results from soil sampling are clearly anomalous.
“During 2022, the exploration team systematically progressed several greenfields targets to drill ready status. Our maiden drill programme at Serendipity and B1 is scheduled to commence in April and follows our recent drilling success at Sexton. It is an exciting time for our company and our shareholders.”
Further Work
Serendipity and B1 greenfields target areas are high priority and the company anticipates commencing its maiden RC drill programme in April 2023, in combination with follow up drilling into the nickel-bearing mineralization recently identified at the Sexton target.
At Sexton, every hole drilled intersected massive sulphides that are nickel-bearing, where the assays include:
• 23NRC009: 3m at 1.11% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 460ppm Co from 39m
• 23NRC010: 5m at 0.51% Ni, 0.06% Cu, 321ppm Co from 22m
• 23NRC011: 3m at 1.04% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 273ppm Co from 72m
• 23NRC012: 8m at 0.63% Ni, 0.16% Cu, 258ppm Co and 204ppb PGM from 121m, Including 1m at 1.03% Ni, 0.17% Cu, 277ppm Co and 332ppb PGM from 125m.
