BlackEarth Minerals NL announced that it has finalized its first program of field exploration on the Donnelly River Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Metals (Ni-Cu-PGM) Project located 240km south of Perth, Western Australia. The Donnelly River Project is situated immediately adjoining the Thor and Odin Ni-Cu-PGM Prospects, recently identified by Chalice Gold Mines and Venture Minerals at their South West JV. KEY TECHNICAL POINTS: Historical exploration across the BlackEarth tenements has identified the presence of metagabbroic and met-peridotites interpreted to potentially be part of mafic-ultramafic intrusive complexes. Based on completed exploration activities: Reconnaissance geochemical sampling has successfully defined at least three prominent trends that are coincident with well-defined magnetic trends; The geochemical results, along with mapped ultramafic lithologies, confirm the presence of a strong mafic-ultramafic signature across the southern half of the Donnelly River Ni-Cu-PGM Project. It should also be noted that similar magnetic trends across the property have yet to be tested in any form and present additional opportunities to develop priority targets with further work. The anomalous geochemical and magnetic trends are defined by: A large "Ovoid" feature located central to the project. Ultramafic lithologies have previously been identified in this location. The geochemistry at this location is nickel dominant (peak value 811ppm Ni) with subdued copper (peak value 50ppm Cu), however only part of the magnetic feature has been covered by geochemical sampling. Two east west trending linear trends of coincident Ni-Cu anomalism, both over a strike-length of 5-6km. Prior to the commencement of the planned airborne electromagnetic survey, a notification process with all potentially affected parties will be undertaken. To expedite this process the Company has engaged a consultant land access specialist.
