Review of operationsDuring the half-year ended 31 December 2016, Mr Ashley Hood was appointed as Managing Director and Mr Michael Pedley assumed the role of Non-Executive Chairman following the resignations of Mr Dean Goodwin and Mr Robert Downey.
Exploration efforts at the Companyís 100% owned Mt Ridley Project within the highly prospective Albany- Fraser Range province continued under the appointment of CSA Global headed by its nickel sulphide expert Mr Tony Donaghy and renowned geophysics specialist Mr Russell Mortimer of Southern Geoscience Australia.
A down hole electromagnetic survey (DHTEM) located an off-hole conductor at MRDD016. Modelling defined a strong (>10,000 Siemens) local conductor centred at approximately 650m downhole, immediately off-hole below and to the east of diamond hole MRDD016. Subsequently holes MRDD017 (410m) and MRD018 (732m) were drilled to test the off-hole conductor located down MRDD016. Both MRDD017 and MRDD018 missed the conductor target due to previously unknown geological conditions causing the diamond drill holes to excessively deviate off course.
The CSA Global - Mt Ridley Review was announced on 12 December 2016. The Company was proactive and had already been active in implementing exploration techniques and methods on a regional scale to best place the Mt Ridley Project and Company for success in 2017.
Regional ground gravity surveys highlighted two new priority areas immediately south of Target 19 (The Lake) and Target 2 (Tyrrellís) and are localised gravity highs/clusters that could be indicative of thicker accumulations of more dense mafic/ultramafic rocks and sulphide mineralisation (see Figure 1 below).
A combination of magnetic, gravity and geochemistry data sets are being compiled to generate new targets for exploration in 2017 with the ongoing support of CSA Global.
