JORC 2012 resource report due November.
Alchemy Resources Limited ( ASX: ALY ) (“Alchemy”) is pleased to announce the commencement of resource drilling within the West Lynn Nickel-Cobalt Project in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW ( Figures 1 & 2 ). The Project forms part of the farm-in and joint venture agreement with Heron Resources Limited (ASX: HRR) which enables Alchemy to earn an 80% interest in eight NSW licences (including the new Ni-Co licences) by spending $1.5M over the remaining 3 year period (Refer to Alchemy Resources Limited ASX announcement dated 14 March 2018) .
The drilling has been designed to advance the existing West Lynn Nickel-Cobalt Exploration Target of 15 30Mt @ 0.7 0.9% Ni, 0.05 0.07% Co to a JORC 2012 compliant inferred resource estimate. The Exploration Target has previously been classified as an indicated resource by Jervois Mining under the JORC Code 2004 Edition (Refer to Alchemy Resources Limited ASX announcement dated 14 March 2018).

West Lynn Prospect
Initial aircore / reverse circulation resource drilling at the West Lynn prospect will include 45 holes for 2,300m (Figure 3). The program will infill previous drill intercepts including 19m @ 1.21% Ni, 0.10% Co from 36m, 16m @ 0.98% Ni, 0.07% Co from 37m, and 11m @ 0.74% Ni, 0.05% Co from 45m (Refer to Alchemy Resources Limited ASX announcement dated 14 March 2018), to a 100m x 200m drill spacing which Alchemy considers will be sufficient for a JORC Code 2012 compliant inferred resource category.

Summervale Prospect
The initial aircore / reverse circulation drilling at the Summervale prospect will include 35 holes for 2,000m (Figure 4). The program will infill previous drill intercepts including 13m @ 1.41% Ni, 0.08% Co from 41m and 15m @ 0.91% Ni, 0.04% Co from 36m to a 100m x 100m, and 100m x 200m drill spacing which Alchemy considers will be sufficient for a JORC Code 2012 compliant inferred resource category.

Samples from both prospects will be analysed for a variety of elements (including Ni, Co, Al, Sc, Fe & Mg). Specific gravity (SG) measurements and metallurgical studies will also be completed on selected samples. The West Lynn / Summervale mineralisation is geologically, mineralogically, and potentially metallurgically similar to the Homeville Ni-Co-Al-(Fe-Sc) deposit 40km to the south held by Collerina Cobalt Limited (ASX: CLL) (Figure 2). The Homeville JORC 2004 indicated and inferred resource is 16.3Mt @ 0.05% Co, 0.93% Ni, 19% Fe, 3.1% Al (Ind. & Inf.) (refer to Collerina Cobalt Limited company presentation dated 6 March 2018) .
The West Lynn drilling program (phase 1) is expected to be completed in 2 weeks, with final assay results expected by late-September to early October.
Alchemy also sees potential for significant expansion of the Ni-Co Exploration Target and subsequent resource by drilling untested sections of the 22km long West Lynn Serpentinite magnetic high. This additional drilling (Phase 2) will be undertaken once the results of the Phase 1 drilling have been compiled.
Alchemy’s Managing Director, Leigh Ryan said:
“Alchemy is confident that the West Lynn Exploration Target will convert to a significant Ni-Co-Al resource, comparable to that of the Homeville deposit 40km to the south. The drilling program will also provide some high quality SG and metallurgical samples in order to progress the Project towards an initial scoping study.”
