DIAMOND DRILLING COMMENCED AT OMRAH NICKEL TARGET
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Diamond drilling commenced at Omrah nickel prospect at Silver Swan North Project
-
Targeting EM conductor for ultramafic-hosted massive nickel sulphide mineralisation
.
NEXT STEPS:
-
Diamond core logging, cutting and assaying
-
Down-hole EM surveying of diamond hole and selected RC holes
-
Await assays on diamond core
-
Finalise assays and report on RC drilling
-
Deliver half diamond core and preliminary report to DMIRS to recoup 80% of cofounded drilling grant
Moho Resources Ltd (Moho or the Company) (ASX: MOH) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at the Omrah nickel prospect (Figure 1) at the Company’s Silver Swan North project, 43km north northeast of Kalgoorlie.
The Omrah nickel prospect is host to an untested electromagnetic (EM) conductor which has been confirmed by geophysical interpretation of historic EM surveys.
Diamond drilling has commenced from 165m at the bottom of recently drilled RC hole 21SSC005. Based on geophysical modelling the diamond hole is expected to intersect the EM conductor plate at a depth of 405m down hole.
The identification of the Omrah and Wise nickel targets followed the review of geological and geophysical data by Moho’s exploration team[1] .
Previous Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling[2] at the Omrah and Wise prospects was completed on 22 January 2022. 14 RC holes were completed for 3,060m (refer to Table 1). Assay results are undergoing final QAQC, pending release.

Moho was awarded a grant of $150,000[3] under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) program by the West Australian Government. The EIS grant will cover up to 50% of direct drilling costs associated with the RC and diamond drilling program to test for massive nickel sulphide mineralisation at the Omrah and Wise nickel prospects.
