Aircore drilling of an initial 7 geophysical targets was completed during October with a total of 183 holes for 5,506 metres being drilled.
The drill samples have been screened using P-XRF analytical techniques with a total of 157 samples being selected for re-sample and analysis using traditional assay techniques.
Assay results for these re-samples are not expected until mid January 2017 due to delays associated with the Christmas holiday period.
The drilling program was designed to test a number of gravity anomalies with the aim of identifying prospective mafic-ultramafic rocks.
Based on the regional magnetics, the Symons Hill license contains the same sequence of rocks which host the Nova/Bollinger nickel sulphide deposits.
This geological belt is also host to AngloGold Ashanti’s (JSE:ANG) Tropicana gold deposit (over 8 million ounces gold), considered the most significant gold discovery in Australia in the past decade.
Boadicea had a cash balance of $1.5 million as at 30 September 2016.
