-
Recent high-grade palladium and associated nickel-copperplatinum group elements (Ni-Cu-PGE) discovery by Chalice Mining Limited (ASX:CHN) has kicked off an exploration boom in the region.
-
Sovereign Project is located between Chalice discovery and Yarawindah Brook Ni-Cu-PGE Project (Caspin Resources Limited, ASX:CPN).
-
Large 6 x 7km Sovereign Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusive Complex of the Julimar Complex with no previous Ni-CuPGE exploration.
-
The Sovereign Project includes:
1. East: (100% DEV tenure) No prior exploration within this newly granted area overlying several prospective targets.
2. West: Earn-In Agreement with Australian Silica Quartz Group Ltd (ASQ), to earn 50% in the mineral and metal rights (excluding bauxite).

Sovereign Nickel-Copper-PGE Project: Highly encouraging maiden results
==> picture [459 x 397] intentionally omitted <==
- Highly encouraging results from maiden broad-spaced AC drilling have confirmed:
o The presence of a broad differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion, similar to the host geology at the Julimar Project discovery.
- Extensive +3km area of elevated palladium, platinum (Pd+Pt) and copper (Cu) associated with a differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion.
o A new +1km long Pd+Pt soil anomaly has also been identified on the previously unexplored eastern half of the Sovereign Magnetic Complex.
Broad spaced air-core drilling (average hole depth 25m) has defined extensive elevated palladium+platinum (Pd+Pt) and copper associated with a differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusion. See DEV ASX: 27[th] April 2021.

Wilga Downs Project : Significant Off-Hole Conductor adjacent to mineralisation
-
Cobar type magnetic-gravity anomaly located on the prospective fault contact between Cobar Supergroup and Girilambone Group.
-
Priority target is similar to other gold-polymetallic Cobar deposits:
-
Glencore’s CSA Copper Mine
-
Peak and Great Cobar Copper-Gold Mines
-
DevEx’s first diamond drill hole (20WD001) targeted western magnetic and gravity high.
-
Intersecting a narrow zone of semi massive pyrrhotite (magnetic sulphide) with associated copper sulphide with gold.
-
Insufficient levels of high/broad magnetic susceptibility seen in the drill hole to explain the magnetic anomaly – suggesting a ‘near miss’.
-
Significant Off-Hole Conductor A identified 40m east of 20WD001 – priority drill target
