The processing and interpretation of these surveys has led to the identification of ten high priority drill targets across the tenements, on which the Company intends to commence an air-core drilling program in the next quarter.
The completion of these initial geophysical programs represents the early stages of a systematic exploration approach to target nickel sulphides across the Company's northern landholdings. The datasets obtained from the surveys will assist in identifying the presence of potential mafic intrusions (host of nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation in the

HIGH PRIORITY TARGETS IDENTIFIED
Geophysical datasets from both the detailed high-resolution airborne magnetic survey and semi-regional gravity survey over tenements E28/2403 and E28/2738 have now been processed and interpreted by
Each target has been identified as a potential mafic intrusion that is concealed under cover and exhibits a circular or ellipsoidal morphology that appears to warp the older stratigraphy around it. In addition, there are correlating gravity highs that could indicate more mafic-ultramafic (denser) compositions.
FUTURE WORK PROGRAMS
The Company's exploration focus is now on progressively air-core drill testing the selected targets. The initial drilling program will test the targets located north of the
The key aim of the drilling program is to confirm the presence of mafic intrusions, in particular, the intrusions with favourable litho-geochemical characteristics. If the drill program is successful in confirming a prospective intrusion, more detailed geophysical and drill programs will be undertaken, to determine if there are any economic concentrations of nickel sulphides hosted within the intrusion. The Company is in the process of selecting an appropriate drilling contractor and obtaining all necessary government approvals.
