Applications lodged for exploration licences over areas identified by Whistlepipe geoscientists as prospective for nickel and associated battery and precious metals
-
Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity of application areas confirmed using Geoscience Australia’s Mineral Potential Mapper program
-
Review underway of granted exploration licence at Manjimup to enable exploration activities to commence as soon as practicable
“Moho is looking forward to commencing exploration for nickel and associated battery and precious metals within the granted licence near Manjimup and the application areas once granted. The proximity of the areas targeted by Whistlepipe within or close to zones of moderate Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity generated using Geoscience Australia’s mineral Potential Mapper data provides independent support for their mineral potential. It is also no surprise, given the discovery record of the Whistlepipe principals and their close involvement with the discovery of the Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au deposit at Julimar”
Shane Sadleir, Moho Managing Director
On 25 October 2021 Moho Resources Ltd (Moho or the Company) announced that it had entered into agreements with Whistlepipe Exploration Pty Ltd (Whistlepipe) to acquire a granted exploration licence and certain technical information relating to six Project areas in Western Australia which Moho intends to evaluate with a view to securing tenure[1] .
Moho is pleased to announce that it has lodged applications with the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) for 11 exploration licences over the six Project areas associated with an agreement with Whistlepipe .

The granted Whistlepipe tenement and Moho’s exploration licence applications over the project areas identified by Whistlepipe are located in sparsely and under-explored ground within the prospective western and southwestern margins of the Yilgarn craton and the Albany-Fraser orogen of Western Australia (refer to Figure 1 and Table 1). Table 1 also provides details of three licence applications lodged by the Company recently over areas that are considered prospective for nickel.

Based on information provided by Whistlepipe, Moho understands the granted tenement and project areas under the Acquisition Agreement may be prospective for nickel and associated battery and precious metals. They were identified using similar concepts and targeting parameters that led to the discovery of the exceptional Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au mineralisation within the Julimar mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex located on the western margin of the Yilgarn craton. Table 2 shows additional information used by Whistlepipe to target the Project areas which are now under applications by Moho
Moho is currently undertaking due diligence on the Project Information to enable Completion of the transaction. The Company is expediting assessment of the Mining Information relating to the granted tenement at Manjimup (E70/5762) to allow exploration activities to commence as soon as practicable.
Ni-Cu-PGE Prospectivity Index
Figure 1 shows the location of Moho’s granted and applied for tenements in relation to a Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity index developed by Geoscience Australia. The Mineral Potential Mapper is a computerbased system developed to map Australia’s potential for new Ni-Cu-PGE mineral resources. The system is a continental scale application designed to assist the mineral exploration industry to target new resources.
The heat map underlay depicted shows standard inputs determined by Geoscience Australia’s preferred values (Dulfer, et al., 2016)
