Todd River Resources Limited announced that following the Christmas and New Year break, on-ground exploration has recommenced at its 100% owned Berkshire Valley Ni-Cu-PGE Project in Western Australia. The work program which is a continuation of the December 2021 program will focus on deeper RC drilling of areas that intersected sulphides in shallow reconnaissance aircore drilling and/or where highly anomalous coincident Ni-Cu-PGE soil geochemistry has been identified. Drilling of RC holes to approximately 150 metres will commence at the Mako Prospect where numerous shallow reconnaissance aircore holes encountered sulphides in end of hole fresh or in semi fresh rock.

Samples from the RC holes will initially be collected as 3 metre composites with individual 1 metre splits to be re-sampled where either handheld XRF readings show anomalism or where sulphides are present in the chips. Samples will be submitted for assay for a suite of elements, including base and precious metals. Concurrently with the RC drilling, a MLTEM survey is due to commence in the week beginning January 10.

It is anticipated that the drilling program will take 3-4 weeks to complete which will tie in with the end of the MLTEM survey. Should any conductors be identified during the geophysics survey, additional holes will be completed or pre-collared prior to the rig leaving site.
