South Boulder’s (ASX: STB) flagship project is the world class Colluli Potash Fertilizer Project in Eritrea where mine production of 1Mt p.a. is scheduled for 2016 or sooner from the world's first open cut potash mine.
South Boulder also operates the Duketon Project in Western Australia where there is demonstrated potential for gold, nickel sulphide and base metal mineralisation.
South Boulder Mines and Independence Group get more good news at Rosie nickel project
The slew of good news continues for South Boulder Mines (ASX: STB) as JV partner Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) reports it has intersected 5.25m of massive, matrix and disseminated mineralisation during drilling Diamond Hole TBDD098 at Rosie Nickel Sulphide Project.
Preliminary analysis using a portable XRF machine indicates the intersection is significantly nickeliferous.
Lorry Hughes managing director of South Boulder Mines said, "this appears to be fantastic news for the JV with IGO. The Rosie Prospect is really starting to shape up as a significant nickel discovery."
"It is possibly Australia’s most exciting green fields nickel project. I’m looking forward to work continuing towards an initial resource”.
South Boulder entered a farm-out Joint Venture Agreement with Independence, whereby Independence can earn a 70% interest in the nickel rights on tenements held by South Boulder in the Duketon Project, by the completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study within 5 years of the grant of the relevant tenement.
The hole was was drilled 50m down-dip of hole TBDD087 (announced on the 8th March 2010) which intersected: 4.55m @ 4.05% Ni, 0.74% Cu, 2.71g/t Pt+Pd from 575.31m including 3.03m @ 5.28% Ni, 0.36%Cu, 3.67g/t Pt+Pd from 575.31m.
Drilling is continuing at the Rosie Prospect and chemical assay results will be released to the ASX as they come to hand.
