That’s an increase of 43% since the resource was last calculated back in 2012.
What’s more, the open pit component of B4-7 has doubled to 1,772,000 tonnes at 1.20% nickel equivalent in the indicated category, for 21,264 tonnes of contained metal.
Drilling has extended the B4-7 Deposit an additional 200 metres to a strike length of 900 metres and a depth of 550 metres, and the mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.
A new exploration target has been identified down dip, which may contain further significant potential.
