Slide 14: Investigators Prospect
Investigators Prospect Unlocking a Major Mineralised System • High powered SAMSON electromagnetic (EM) survey identifies large areas of EM conductivity indicating potential for extensive sulphide mineralisation over an east-west strike of 1.5km • Mineralised ultramafic unit dips 30 degrees to the no
Slide 15: Plunge Increased by Latest Drilling
Plunge Increased by Latest Drilling Drilling and downhole EM surveys used concurrently to identify more high-grade mineralisation at depth • MAD60 Line (approx. 231225E) high-grade mineralisation starts at 30m below surface and has a plunge strike of 380m • High-grade mineralisation footprint now co

2019 Drilling Commences +5,500m RC drill programme begins in mid-February 2019 • Infill and extensional drilling planned for the Investigators Prospect to support resource definition • First ever drilling of the interpreted mineralised contact at the Fairbridge Prospect where nickel-copper sulphide
Slide 18: New Targets
New Targets West End: Below: The Cathedrals Belt is interpreted to extend from the western margin of the Investigators Prospect to the Ida Fault 2.5km to the west. The Belt dips underneath a paleochannel which could interfere with surface EM surveys. A line of holes will be drilled along the underco
