ASX Announcement
29[th] June 2021
More massive sulphide hits at Rosie - drilling continues to deliver…
HIGHLIGHTS
Rosie Project (100% DKM)
-
Hole 6 of the program has intersected 6m of mineralisation including 70cm of massive sulphide, 1.4m of matrix/vein sulphides and 3.9m of disseminated sulphides.
-
Six drillholes now completed at the Rosie Nickel Project
-
Includes three holes into the oxide material for PGE metallurgical testwork
-
Mineralisation intersected in all drillholes
-
Drilling continues
-
First batch of assays expected in 6-8 weeks
Duketon Mining Ltd (DKM) is pleased to announce drilling at the Rosie Nickel Project is progressing well with six drillholes now complete. Mineralisation has been intersected in all drillholes with the most recent drillhole, DKDD0017, intersecting massive, stringer and blebby sulphides over a 6m interval (see Table 1, Table 2, Figure 1 and Figure 2).
DKDD0013, the second drillhole into the upper north area (see Figure 3 and Table 2), intersected 7.8m of 10% blebby sulphides above 3.7m of 30% stringer sulphides on the footwall contact.

The three drillholes within the Oxide zone are also complete, these holes were drilled for PGE recovery/metallurgical testwork, and intersected weathered, iron rich oxidised mineralisation. These holes have been cut and sampled and are at the laboratory for PGE analysis prior to recovery testwork.
The program at Rosie Nickel Project is designed to increase confidence in mineralisation in the upper north area, test at depth below the south-eastern area (previously known as Nariz) and collect PGE rich oxide material from directly above the sulphide deposit for assay and PGE recovery/metallurgical testwork. These three areas have been identified from the Rosie Nickel Sulphide Scoping Study as having potential upside by either impacting early cash flow or extending the life of mine (see ASX announcement 28[th] April 2021).
