HIGHLIGHTS
Infill results in conjunction with previously reported reconnaissance AC results define a highly promising Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical anomaly that is interpreted to be over three kilometres in strike and up to 400 metres wide - named the Eyre Anomaly. The Eyre Anomaly resides within Geophysical Target 1, one of the largest mafic intrusions in the area (3.6km by 3.6km). (Refer to the Company's ASX Announcements dated
Infill assay results confirm further encouraging Ni-Cu-Co-PGE regolith anomalism. Key results include:
KAC0124: 18m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.02% Cu and 0.05% Co, 14 ppb (Pt+Pd) from 87m including:
2m @ 0.47% Ni, 0.26% Cu and 0.08% Co, 11 ppb (Pt+Pd) from 97m
KAC0124 is approximately 145 metres from KAC0091 which intersected 21m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.08% Cu and 0.03% Co, 52ppb (Pt+Pd) from 93m to bottom of hole ('BOH') in the maiden AC program.
The infill AC program was highly successful in validating the prospectivity of the Transline tenements, with the identification of magmatic nickel and copper sulphides within a peridotite and pyroxenite (olivine bearing) host rocks in three holes KAC0124, KAC0131 and KAC0135 (Refer to the Company's ASX Announcement dated
Strong evidence for magmatic nickel sulphides as being the source of the Eyre Anomaly which supports the prospectivity of the other established Ni-Cu-Co-PGE anomalies as a pathfinder to nickel sulphides in the basement intrusive.
High priority follow-up infill AC drilling planned to improve definition of the grade distribution at each of the established Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical footprints, with the northern Eyre Anomaly being a priority.
Company remains well-funded for all planned activities.

EYRE ANOMALY
The intersections from the current infill drilling program in conjunction with the previously reported reconnaissance AC hole results defines a highly promising Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical anomaly that is interpreted to be over three kilometres in strike and up to 400 metres wide - named the Eyre Anomaly. The Eyre Anomaly resides in within Geophysical Target 1 ('Target 1'), one of the largest mafic intrusions in the area (3.6 kilometres by 3.6 kilometres) (Figure 1).
Early comparative geochemical analysis of key discriminator elements has indicated the presence of two separate mafic intrusions suites within the Target 1 intrusion. The two mafic/ultramafic intrusive suites suggest multiple pulses of magma in the formation of the Target 1 which is a strong indication of prospectivity for the magmatic intrusive mineralisation being explored. Samples analysed were sourced at the blade refusal metre into the basement rocks. The BOH sample is relatively fresh, and the effects of weathering are therefore minimised in the geochemical analysis.
The comparative analysis of the BOH samples uses the same normalised discrimination plots as reported by the
FUTURE WORK PROGRAMS
High priority follow-up infill AC drilling will be undertaken to improve the definition of the grade distribution at each of the established Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical footprints, with the northern Eyre Anomaly being a priority due to the current lack of drilling. The drill program will aim to infill each anomaly to approximately 100 metre centres in the first instance with the potential need for tighter patterns in certain areas. The Company aims to commence the infill drilling program in the current quarter, subject to rig availability. The processed AC results will be utilised in conjunction with existing results to optimise the locations of an anticipated Reverse Circulation ('RC') drilling program.
