BEREHAVEN NICKEL RIGHTS OPTION AGREEMENT EXECUTED
-
Formal Option Agreement with Horizon Minerals secures an exclusive option to acquire the nickel rights on 12 tenements within the Berehaven Nickel Project
-
Regional nickel exploration by Metal Hawk to commence shortly with ground EM and extensive aircore drilling
-
Diamond and RC drilling continuing at Commodore
Metal Hawk Limited ( ASX: MHK , “Metal Hawk” or “The Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Formal Option Agreement (Option) to purchase the nickel rights (Nickel Rights) from Horizon Minerals Limited (“Horizon” or “HRZ”) on 12 granted tenements (Tenements) which form part of the Berehaven Nickel Project.
The tenements are located approximately 20 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie and adjacent to the Company’s recent high grade Commodore Nickel sulphide discovery (ASX announcement 28 September 2021 “Massive Nickel Sulphide Discovery at Berehaven Nickel Project”). The Berehaven Nickel Project spans over 95km[2] , with several underexplored target areas identified north of the Blair Nickel mine (which produced 1.26Mt @ 2.62% Ni for 32,900 tonnes of contained nickel).
As announced to the ASX on 29 July 2021, the Company acquired an Option to purchase 100% of the nickel rights from Horizon for a total consideration of 4.5 million shares with the following terms:
-
1,500,000 fully paid MHK shares (Option fee)
-
3,000,000 fully paid MHK shares (escrowed for 180 days) payable within 18 months to exercise the Option
Both parties have now signed the Formal Option Agreement and Metal Hawk is now preparing to commence regional exploration on the tenements.

Metal Hawk’s Managing Director Will Belbin commented: “The recent discovery of high-grade nickel sulphide at Commodore proves our new geological model and effective targeting methods. As we continue RC and diamond drilling at Commodore we also look forward to exploring the fertile ultramafic rocks along strike. With the Horizon nickel Option Agreement finalised we can now push ahead with more regional drilling and geophysics as we continue to unlock the potential of this very exciting project.”
The Company’s western tenements cover 10km of strike extent along the poorly tested northnorthwest trending greenstone belt. Aircore drilling is due to commence within the next few weeks and will explore the target stratigraphy along strike from the Commodore nickel sulphide discovery. This will be the focus of Metal Hawk’s regional nickel exploration and priority target areas will also be covered with high-powered MLTEM (Moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic) surveys in order to identify conductive responses due to massive nickel sulphide mineralisation.
