Three reverse circulation (RC) drill rigs are continuing the 40,000-metre  resource infill program which is 75% complete.

Drilling aims to improve resource confidence and allow a maiden Ore Reserve estimate to be published with the PFS results.

Results exceeding expectations

The resource infill drilling has returned the best-ever nickel intersection at Nebo and thick, continuous zones of mineralisation have been intersected at the Babel deposit.

Drilling is estimated to be complete by the end of October, this will be followed immediately by 23,000 metres of drilling to be brought forward from the planned stage II feasibility study program.
