NickelX Limited reported that is has contracted DDH1 Limited (DDH1) and secured a diamond drill rig for an early July program at the Fire Dragon Nickel-Copper Target within the Biranup Project, located in the world class Albany Fraser Orogen (AFO). The DDH1 contract includes 2 PHASES of drilling for a total of 6,212m of Diamond and Diamond with RC pre-collars to test for Nickel-Copper sulphides at Fire Dragon and FD1 based on current data, while a wider PHASE 2 program of Diamond and Diamond with RC pre-collars is planned to test for Nickel-Copper sulphides at Fire Dragon, FD1, FD2, FD4 and Silver Dragon and to test for structural Gold at Black Dragon, will be based on completion of modelling from the recent EM surveys and results from PHASE 1. A diamond rig has been secured for an early July program with Safety Management Systems established and a Program of Works (POW) approved. Refurbishing and clearing of tracks (where warranted) and establishments of drill pads and sumps will get underway shortly in preparation for the drill arrival on site to commence work. As the approved POW sites fall within areas already cleared for heritage by previous explorers, NKL has received advice that no further heritage clearance work is required at this stage of exploration, enabling drilling to commence immediately. The PHASE 1 4 hole 1,212m diamond drilling program will test for massive sulphides at Fire Dragon and the now enhanced FD1 conductors. The PHASE 1 program is supported by an EIS co-funded drilling grant received from the WA Government. The strategy at Fire Dragon is not only to locate thicker and potentially economic extensions of the nickel-copper bearing sulphide zone intersected by historical drilling but also to better understand the style of this mineralisation (i.e., whether magmatic or hydrothermal, or a tectonothermal modification of either). This will have important implications for Nickel exploration throughout the Biranup project and the AFO.
