Woomera Mining Limited provided an update on planned exploration programs across its suite of nickel-copper-PGE, lithium and gold projects. The next six months will be one of the most active periods since listing for Woomera, with concurrent drilling, geochemical sampling and ground geophysics programs taking place to maximise the chances of exploration success. Woomera's Mt Venn Project covers 50km of continuous strike within the underexplored Mt Venn Greenstone Belt located in the NE Goldfields of WA, 40km west of the world-class Gruyere Gold Project. During 2021, the Company completed 7,831m RC and 1,455m AC drilling on the Mt Venn tenements. In February the Company completed a 1,193 auger drill hole sampling programme over the Wartu Granite, Jutson Dome and Mt Cumming South prospects. The proposed 2,000m infill drilling program is scheduled to commence in mid April 2022 and is designed to test for thick, high grade extensions of the previously reported disseminated and massive Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation including a potentially 500m-long mineralised strike between the three holes.
The Mt Cornell prospect is interpreted to be hosted by a +5km long, Ni-Cu-PGE prospective, mafic/ultramafic intrusion and further ground-based EM surveys are planned for July 2022 to define additional targets for drilling later this year. Woomera has also defined two high priority EM targets immediately east of the Mt Cornell prospect and these will be tested once the underlying tenement application has been granted.
