Purchase Forrestania Projects
Cullen Resources Limited (Cullen, ASX:CUL) and Hannans Reward Limited (Hannans, ASX:HNR) have signed a conditional agreement to jointly acquire the Stormbreaker Nickel Sulphide Project and the North Ironcap Gold Project, located in the Forrestania region of Western Australia, approx. 12km north of Western Area's Flying Fox nickel sulphide deposit (refer attached regional map).
- The Stormbreaker Project (tenements: P77/3055; (MLA77/875); E77/514; and applications $M77/1029$ and $M77/1030$ comprising 14.3 sq km) is interpreted to contain over an 8 km strike length of the same ultramafic units that host Western Areas NL's Flying Fox, New Morning and Daybreak Nickel Deposits, approx. 12 kms to the south. All previous nickel exploration on this Project area is pre 1975 and no modern nickel exploration methods or concepts have been applied. Modern exploration up until late 2001 has focused on the gold potential of the Project with numerous unexplained surface gold anomalies. The agreement provides for the Cullen / Hannans joint venture to acquire 100% of the Stormbreaker Project.
- The North Ironcap Project (tenement M77/544 comprising 4.43 sq km) contains four occurrences of gold mineralisation in the southern portion of the project area that underwent considerable drilling, metallurgical test work and pit design work in the late 1990's. Best intersections from previous RC drilling in this area included: $13m (a)3.88g/t$ Au from $26m$ ; $23m (a) 2.17 g/t$ Au from 16m and 13m $\omega$ 4.89 g/t Au from surface. A detailed review of the current status of this gold mineralisation will be a priority. There are further untested surface gold anomalies in the northern portion of this Project. The agreement provides for the Cullen / Hannans joint venture to acquire 100% of the Gold Rights at the North Ironcap Project.
- The 50 / 50 joint venture between Cullen and Hannans will be managed by Dr. Chris Ringrose from Cullen and Mr. Terry Grammer from Hannans, Mr. Grammer was joint AMEC prospector of the year for the discovery of the Cosmos nickel sulphide deposit and a founder of Western Areas NL.
- Subject to final completion of the technical review, the total consideration payable is \$150,000, comprising \$40,000 cash and the balance in shares. Cullen and Hannans will each contribute half of the consideration. The vendors, Ron Manners and John Elkington prospected and pegged the Forrestania Projects in 1970 and have had them under joint venture until recently.
- Following settlement the joint venture will complete a data compilation and review which will be $\bullet$ followed by an aggressive exploration program.
