ASX RELEASE: 16 NOVEMBER 2018
NICKEL-COPPER PROJECT SECURED IN THE FRASER RANGE
-
Nickel-Copper exploration project options secured in the Albany Fraser Belt, covering a total area of 636km[2] supporting the company’s strategy to continue to focus on Nickel and Copper and the Albany Fraser Belt, as one of its preferred geological terrains.
-
The Fraser Range project covers a total area of 243km[2] in the Fraser Range zone of the Albany Fraser Belt, within 20km of the newly discovered Silver Knight deposit and the operational Nova-Bollinger Nickel Copper deposit, and where numerous Magmatic Nickel Copper targets remain untested with modern systematic exploration techniques.
-
The Biranup project covers a total area of 393km[2] in the Biranup zone of the Albany Fraser Belt, located within 20km of the Tropicana gold deposit and was previously the subject of primarily gold exploration with numerous Magmatic Nickel Copper and VMS type Copper targets identified which remain untested with modern systematic exploration techniques.
-
A comprehensive program of data compilation and project evaluation from a significant database of geological, geochemical, geophysical and drill hole datasets is underway.
-
Metalicity retains significant experience exploring the Albany Fraser Belt for Magmatic Nickel Copper deposits over the past 20 years.
-
Metalicity has recently commenced a process to sell (via IPO, JV or Trade Sale) its zinc and lithium interests in WA, and completion of these transactions is anticipated for the December Quarter 2018 and March Quarter 2019, to fund exploration and project generation in Nickel and Copper.
Metalicity Limited (ASX:MCT) (“ MCT ” or “ Company ”) is pleased to report that the Company has signed two 3 month Option and Sale Agreements (“Option”), to acquire the Fraser Range project and the Biranup project.
Both projects are considered prospective for Magmatic Nickel Copper and VMS Copper mineralisation and collectively cover 636km[2]
The Fraser Range is dominated by metamorphosed mafic rocks but also includes metamorphosed granitic and sedimentary rocks termed the Fraser Range Domain. Much of the northern part of the Fraser Range Domain is obscured by younger rocks of the Eucla Basin, however it is interpreted that this domain is approximately 426km long, northeast trending, fault-bounded domain that is up to 50km wide (Figure 1).
Commenting on the agreements, Metalicity Managing Director Matt Gauci said:
“The Fraser Range ranks highly on our list of prospective geological terrains for the discovery of magmatic Nickel-Copper and VMS Copper mineralisation and we are encouraged by the continued discoveries by other companies nearby which supports our prospectivity models. We are currently compiling all available local geological information to assist guiding future exploration activities”
