New assays show Great Boulder closing in on higher-grade nickel at Eastern Mafic

Latest results highlight the neck and feeder zones of the intrusion as being most prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation

Highlights

  • Latest assays from drilling at the Eastern Mafic deposit contain wider, higher-grade nickel and cobalt than seen in previous results

  • These latest assays come from the feeder zone and ‘neck’ of the intrusion at the Zermatt prospect where mineralisation has now been extended to 400m of strike; Significant new results include:

  • 33m at 0.3% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.04% Co

  • 5m at 0.4% Ni, 0.3% Cu, 0.03% Co

  • 7m at 0.3% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.05% Co

  • New zone of sulphide mineralisation intersected at the Cortina prospect, 500m west of Zermatt in hole 18EMRC021 (assays pending)

  • Copper-nickel mineralisation intersected at the southern extension of the feeder zone at the Ben Lomond prospect (18EMDD002)

  • Two wide zones of sulphide mineralisation intersected within the feeder structure at anomaly ML13, between Zermatt and Ben Lomond (18EMRCD013 – assays pending)

  • The results show the prospective zone for high grade nickel sulphide mineralisation is within the feeder and ‘neck’ of the intrusion where higher-tenor nickel sulphide (nickel in 100% sulphide) has been intersected (Figure 1)

  • Great Boulder will now aim to identify higher grade nickel in massive sulphide accumulations at the base of the intrusion associated with high nickel tenor sulphide.

  • At Mt Venn, the latest results continue to extend the known mineralisation which has now been defined over 1km of strike length. Significant new results include:

  • 43m at 0.4% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 0.06% Co from 141m

    • including 11m at 0.5% Cu, 0.3% Ni, 0.09% Co

    • including 5m at 0.8% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 0.05% Co

  • 20m at 0.6% Cu, 0.1% Ni, 0.02% Co from 141m

    • including 3m at 1.2% Cu
  • 14m at 0.6% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 0.05% Co from 236m

    • including 4m at 1.0% Cu, 0.2% Ni, 0.05% Co

Great Boulder Resources (ASX:GBR) is pleased to announce that the latest assays from the Eastern Mafic deposit in WA show that the Company is closing in on the higher-grade zone of nickel mineralisation.

Three distinct sulphide phases have been identified at the Eastern Mafic, with high-tenor nickel sulphide found along the feeder zone and neck of the intrusion at Zermatt considered the most prospective for high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation (Figure 1).

This supports Great Boulder’s view that the Eastern Mafic is closer to the source of highgrade nickel mineralisation. Mt Venn only has a single phase of low-tenor nickel (Figure 2), however the deposit appears to be more copper and cobalt rich than the Eastern Mafic.

Figure 1: Nickel tenor analysis showing three phases of sulphide mineralisation at the Eastern Mafic and single phase at Mt Venn. Barren sulphide is predominantly at the Eastern Mafic where late-stage granites intrude

Around the edge and along structures through the Eastern Mafic complex, late-stage granite intrudes and alters the primary sulphide into barren pyrite/pyrrhotite and magnetite. These areas produce very strong EM responses, however there is little nickel, cobalt or copper of economic interest and they are considered a low priority for follow-up drilling.

Great Boulder Managing Director Stefan Murphy said the results were beginning to deliver a clear message about the nature of the mineralized system at the Eastern Mafic and Mt Venn.

“There is now a pattern emerging which supports our geological interpretation as to how the sulphide system was formed and where the higher grades and wider mineralisation may be found,” Mr Murphy said.

“Once all assays are received we will be able to target the prospective rocks that host the higher tenor nickel and look for the base of these intrusions where massive sulphide typically accumulates.”

Eastern Mafic

Drilling has now finished with a total of 30 RC and diamond holes drilled for 6,777m. Results have been received from the majority of drill holes, with assays pending for the final eight holes of the program.

The maiden drill program successfully identified a new magmatic sulphide system at the Eastern Mafic that shows a significant improvement in nickel grade and tenor when compared to Mt Venn (Figure 1).

Drilling targeted electromagnetic (EM) conductors generated from airborne and ground surveys and nickel and copper in aircore geochemistry. Initial scout RC and diamond drilling was used to test the various conductors and orientation of mineralisation, with follow-up down-hole EM (DHEM) used in conjunction with assay results to identify the most prospective conductors.

The results show multiple sulphide phases at the Eastern Mafic, with the most prospective and higher nickel grades and tenor occurring along the feeder zone and the intersection of the feeder with the Eastern Mafic.

Great Boulder will focus its exploration efforts along the 6km feeder zone and neck of the intrusion, targeting basal accumulations of the higher tenor nickel sulphide. Massive sulphide typically accumulates at the base of fertile mafic intrusions and higher grades are found where the high tenor nickel sulphide accumulates.

Drilling at Zermatt has now defined mineralisation over 400m of strike, within an upper and lower sulphide lens. Mineralisation is mostly hosted in gabbro (minor ultramafic) with nickel grade and tenor improving towards the southeast and at depth in the lower lens.

Sulphide mineralisation is quite pervasive throughout the host mafic-ultramafic unit, but typically in low concentrations. Where sulphide accumulates as semi-massive to massive, there is an improvement in overall nickel grade but this tends to occur in zones of lower tenor nickel, resulting in grades of 0.3-0.5% Ni.

Zones of higher nickel tenor sulphide (+2% nickel in 100% sulphide) has mostly been intersected as disseminated to matrix in texture and which does not produce a strong EM response, unlike the massive but barren pyrrhotite which produces a very strong response.

Moderate strength conductors associated with higher tenor nickel have produced the best results, eliminating spurious responses from highly conductive but barren sulphide. DHEM plate modeling provides the shape and location of the strongest part of these conductors, which can then be targeted as potential sources of more massive and higher-grade nickel.

Identifying the mafic-ultramafic unit that hosts the higher-tenor nickel sulphide is key as it has the best potential for basal accumulations of high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation.

The Cortina prospect, located 500m southwest from Zermatt, hosts similar mineralisation to Zermatt. A more massive but lower nickel tenor lens that produces a strong EM response was intersected in 18EMRC006, while a disseminated but higher tenor lens associated with a mafic-ultramafic contact was intersected in 18EMRC003.

An extension to the higher tenor lens was drilled in 18EMRC021, intersecting 17m of sulphide mineralisation (assays pending).

Table 1: Summary of mineralised intersections from 18EMRC021 (assays pending)

Diamond hole 18EMDD002 tested the Ben Lomond prospect (previously anomaly ML15) at the southern extent of the 6km long feeder zone that represents a wide ductile zone splaying of the main Yamarna shear. Strong ductile deformation has resulted in shearing of mafic, ultramafic and intermediate units with numerous granitoids intruding along the feeder zone.

Sulphide mineralisation appears to have been emplaced along the structure and then dislocated and cut by later intrusions/shearing. An upper zone of mineralisation (91.599.1m) hosts grades up to 0.6% Ni and appears to represent a remobilised sulphide lens with moderate nickel grade and tenor.

A lower lens of more copper dominant and low nickel tenor mineralisation has been intruded by multiple granitoids and appears structurally controlled and remobilised. Mineralisation in the lower lens is distinct from the upper lens, suggesting different sulphide phases that have a structural overprint.

At anomaly ML13, between Zermatt and Ben Lomond, drill hole 18EMRCD013 tested an off-hole DHEM conductor with a diamond drill tail. Two sulphide lenses were intersected, an upper zone of 23m from 270m downhole and a lower zone of 15m from 321m (assays pending).

All remaining samples have been dispatched to the laboratory for analysis, with final results expected in 3-4 weeks. The DHEM survey at the Eastern Mafic has also been completed with conductor plate modelling underway.

On receipt of final assays and DHEM conductor plates, Great Boulder will complete a revised geological model with the aim of identifying the lithological and structural units that host the most prospective nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Based on the strong structural control of mineralisation along the feeder zone and variations in the nickel tenor across different lithologies, Great Boulder will also assess the southern extension of the feeder zone and possible parallel structures to the east, closer to the terrane bounding Yamarna shear zone.

Mt Venn

A total of 19 RC and diamond holes were drilled at Mt Venn for 4,284m. Drilling focused on strike and dip extensions to the central zone, while also testing the northern extension.

Drilling continues to intersect wide zones of copper dominant mineralisation, with mineralisation now defined over 1km of strike.

Mineralisation within the central zone is now well defined over two sub-parallel northwest trending units that host multiple mineralised lenses. Mineralisation remains open along strike and down-dip where the latest drilling intersected a mineralisation to a depth of 240m below surface.

The northern extension of the system was also discovered during this program, with wide zones (20-44m) of copper dominant sulphide mineralisation intersected. A series of northwest trending structures cut through the central zone and also appear to offset the northern extension.

Significant new assay results include:
