Moho Resources Ltd ( Moho or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Whistlepipe Exploration Pty Ltd (Whistlepipe) to acquire a granted exploration licence and certain technical information relating to six Project areas in Western Australia (Acquisition Agreement, see summary below) which Moho intends to evaluate with a view to securing tenure. The Whistlepipe tenement and Project areas 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.
Whistlepipe and its principals Morgan Frejabise and Jacob Paggi, have over 25 years relevant geoscience exploration experience with major mining companies including IGO Ltd (previously named Independence Group Ltd), Chalice Mining Ltd and Gold Road Resources Ltd. They generated the early reconnaissance work (concept to drillhole design) and provided geophysical services[1] to Chalice Mining which led to the discovery of exceptional PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au mineralisation at Gonneville at their Julimar Project in Western Australia, first announced in March 2020[2] . In addition to their key involvement with the Gonneville discovery at Julimar (maiden JORC resource anticipated in mid Q4 2021[3] ), they have played key roles in other significant mineral discoveries, including Moran (50kt Ni), Rosie (32kt Ni), Bibra (2Moz Au) and the Eureka VMS lens at Stockman.
Based on information provided by Whistlepipe, Moho understands the 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.
Moho has entered into a technical consultancy agreement with Whistlepipe to provide geological and geophysical services as required by the Company across its project portfolio and all prospective areas and tenements introduced to the Company by Whistlepipe.
Subject to further investigations and due diligence under Moho’s agreement with Whistlepipe, Moho intends to promptly commence exploration on the granted tenement and apply for one or more exploration tenements within the areas of the Projects.
