“Recognising these drill results come from early-stage reconnaissance drilling it is extremely positive to identify nickel mineralisation as confirmed today,” he continued.
“As only select intervals of drill core were sent for laboratory assay all five of the significant drill intersections can be considered open until the intervening samples are analysed.
“These results corroborate the earlier identification of Pentlandite, the primary nickel sulphide mineral, in the mineralogical samples previously submitted to Witwatersrand University.”
