South Australia
(nickel sulphide targets)

A program of follow-up geochemical sampling has firmed
up four areas of coherent nickel +/- cobalt, copper
anomalism on EL 2910 De Rose Hill in South Australia.
Three of these areas are associated with aeromagnetic
features suggesting possible prospective mafic to
ultramafic rocks beneath aeolian and alluvial sand cover.
Samples have been collected on a one kilometre by half
kilometre grid. Peak nickel values are up to 150 ppm in
ironstone samples and 95 ppm in minus 75 micron soil
samples.

Anomalies have been defined by a 90 ppm nickel
threshold in ironstone samples and are up to five
kilometres in strike length. In many cases anomalies
remain open along strike. Normalisation of results from
ironstone concentrate samples highlights anomalous areas consistent with the raw assay values.
In the south of EL 2910 the anomalous zone of nickel and copper geochemistry occurs approximately 20 kilometres along strike from the W anka W anka mafic-ultramafic dyke complex held by the joint venture under ELA 343/96.

Limited previous drilling at W anka W anka in the early
1970�s by Kennecott intercepted disseminated nickel-copper sulphides in one of three shallow holes drilled into the complex. The nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation consisted of up to 5% pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pentlanditepyrite intercepted in troctolite over a downhole width of approximately six metres adjacent to the southern margin of the dyke.


The W anka W anka dyke is a differentiated mafic to
ultramafic dyke complex with mapped dimensions of
approximately 15 kilometres in length by 150 metres in
width. Previous work suggests the dyke consists of
multiple fractionated zones representing individual magma pulses and is therefore interpreted as a potential major magma conduit or feeder zone.

Recognised rock types range in composition from olivine and pyroxene gabbros, troctolite, peridotite and norite. Aeromagnetics suggest continuations to the system along strike to the north-east towards EL 2910. The W anka W anka dyke, and its possible extensions, are considered excellent targets for Jinchuanstyle
magmatic nickel copper deposits. The world-class
Jinchuan deposit hosts more than 500 million tonnes of ore grading 1.2% nickel and 0.7% copper.
