EM SURVEYING
The Phase II moving loop HPEM survey proposed to extend 3.3km further north from the current Phase I survey is now underway at Carr Boyd Rocks, screening the interpreted basal contact position and immediate footwall sequence to 1.4km north of the Carr Boyd Rocks Mine. There are several historic high priority exploration targets and prospects in this area based on surface geochemistry, downhole geochemistry, aero-magnetics, ground gravity, and interpreted geology datasets. HPEM will determine if significant conductor’s indicative of the presence of well-developed sulphides are associated with any of the exploration targets.
A further area approximately 8km East at Fosters Hill will also be covered in the current exploration efforts. Fosters Hill is an area where previous historic exploration has uncovered favorable geology, elevated copper in soils and where a coherent GeoTEM target was identified.

ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE CBLC
The CBLC is a 75km2 layered mafic igneous complex, which hosts several occurrences of nickel and copper sulphides. The most significant occurrence discovered to date is at the Carr Boyd Rocks mine, where mineralisation is hosted by bronzitite breccias (pyroxenites) emplaced within the gabbroic sequence of the Complex. The CBLC is in a Tier 1 jurisdiction approximately 80km north north-east of Kalgoorlie Western Australia. An all-weather haul road accessible by Estrella under a granted miscellaneous license connects the Project to the Goldfields Highway via Scotia.
A “Voisey Bay” style model has not been adequately explored within the CBLC. This represents a compelling exploration target opportunity which the Company will continue to aggressively pursue.
