Miramar Resources Limited announced the commencement of an airborne EM survey over its 100% owned "Mt Vernon" Ni-Cu-PGE target in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia. The 437km2 Mt Vernon target (E52/3893) is characterised by historical PGE stream sediment and soil anomalies associated with Proterozoic dolerite sills adjacent to major crustal-scale structures. The largest of the historic soil anomalies at Mt Vernon stretches for almost 10km on the margin of a dolerite sill, with Pd values up to 25ppb.

The "Capricorn AEM TEMPEST Survey", completed by GSWA and Geoscience Australia in 2013, previously highlighted two large EM anomalies at Mt Vernon with 5km spaced N-S lines. The new VTEM survey will be flown by UTS Geophysics and will cover the entire tenement with N-S lines spaced 400m apart. There is minimal historical drilling in the area and none completed as part of any previous Ni-Cu-PGE exploration.

Previous RC drilling in 1996-97 was focussed on testing for Cu-Pb-Zn mineralization.
