Metal Hawk Limited (ASX: MHK) has kicked off a new campaign of reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Berehaven Project, 20km south-east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
Drilling will test multiple new nickel sulphide targets across the project area with a total of 3,000m planned.
The company identified several late-time conductors from ground moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys carried out earlier this year across the project area.
Drilling to date has focused on exploring along the western Commodore ultramafic trend, with significant nickel sulphide mineralisation identified in RC drilling north and south of the Commodore discovery at the Torana and Commodore South prospects.
Whilst the current RC programme is continuing to explore along this fertile western ultramafic trend, several holes are also planned to test four MLEM conductors (BVM_09 to BVM_012) further east of Commodore.
“We are continuing systematic, rigorous exploration at Berehaven with this next phase of RC drilling,” Managing Director, Will Belbin, said.
“Since the discovery of high-grade nickel at Commodore late last year, the regional work we have carried out on this project has generated several more exciting discovery opportunities for nickel and gold.
“Considering the proximity to nearby hits of nickel sulphide along strike to the north at the Euston and Blair North prospects, there has been very little exploration carried out in the vicinity of these eastern EM anomalies.
“Our consulting geophysicists at Newexco have carefully refined and prioritised these drill-ready conductors.
“We are also going to be drilling more RC holes at Torana, and plans are being prepared for deeper diamond drilling to test the strong off-hole DHEM conductor situated beneath a zone of thick mineralised ultramafic rocks.”
