QUARTERLY REPORT TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2022
Black Swan South Nickel prospect (E27/623)
-
Maiden reconnaissance RC drilling program completed, with 1,914m of RC drilling in 12 drill holes varying from 110m to 200m in depth. Assays from laboratory pending
-
Drill program successfully outlined apparently undisturbed basal contact of target komatiitic ultramafics
-
Potential for the komatiite to host nickel sulphides is supported by evidence of substantial settling and accumulation of olivine over an observed strike length of about 300m of the komatiite
-
Embayment in basal contact of komatiites outlined by RC drilling:
-
Four holes identified a 25m to 30m depression in the komatiites at the southern end plunging southeast
-
Testing of the depression will determine if it develops into a channel at depth and provides a site for settling and accumulation of nickel sulphide mineralisation
-
Passive seismic survey undertaken to investigate potential structure or channel development
-
Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey of 4 holes across the Black Swan South and Wise prospect on M27/263 was undertaken and results are pending
Dukes Nickel Targets (E27/613)
-
The Dukes prospect, which has not been drill tested by previous exploration, is located within ultramafics and about ~10km northwest of Black Swan nickel mine
-
Potential for the Dukes prospect to host nickel sulphide mineralisation at depth enhanced by coincident nickel and copper soil anomalies overlying a 3.2km long magnetic anomaly
-
Program of Works lodged with DMIRS for RC drilling along fence lines in two areas with restricted access
-
Heritage survey commissioned over relevant area of E27/623 to extend drilling across the Dukes target is expected to be completed November 2022
Burracoppin REE Exploration
-
Recent soil survey within Moho’s 100%-owned tenements has identified several areas of anomalous rare earth elements with values up to 1959 ppm TREE
-
Higher TREE values in some areas may reflect areas of exposed ionic clays
-
Neodymium and Praseodymium distribution in soil, with values up to 541 ppm NdPr oxide, are comparable to those levels reported by other parties exploring for ionic clay REE mineralisation in the Esperance region
Corporate and Management
- Received $1,245,973 through an oversubscribed placement with strong demand from sophisticated and professional investors
31 October 2022
Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) (Moho or Company) is pleased to announce its quarterly results for the period ending 30 September 2022.
Commenting on technical developments during the quarter, Managing Director Mr Ralph Winter said:
“The drill program at Black Swan South has provided critical information for Moho to vector in on the nickel sulphide potential. The Company is excited about the next phase of geophysical work aimed at defining the potential structure or channel development and to plan some strategic diamond holes to follow the plunge towards the southeast.”
“The identification of coincident nickel and copper soil anomalies at Dukes is an encouraging and exciting development for Moho. The fact that these anomalies are situated in a classic setting for nickel sulphide mineralisation and not subject to historic exploration is extraordinary and a great opportunity for the Company. We are looking forward to the results of the upcoming drilling.”
“The Company is very pleased with the first pass program which identified several previously unknown anomalous REE areas within the Burracoppin project. Given the proximity to IGO’s Lake Campion REE project this is a very encouraging development for the Company. The elevated REE results are comparable with our REE exploration peers and allow the Company the ability to vector into areas of REE hosting clays.”
“The Company is well placed with its strategically located and prospective projects to capitalise on the expanding supply shortages of critical minerals and we look forward to maximizing this opportunity to create value for our shareholders.”

Summary of Operations:
During the quarter Moho’s exploration activities were focused on the nickel prospects at the Silver Swan North Project, located about 40km NNE of Kalgoorlie and the REE prospects on the Burracoppin project in Western Australia.
Black Swan South Nickel Prospect (E27/623)
The Black Swan South Nickel Prospect is a zone of ultramafic rocks identified from historical drilling south of the Silver Swan nickel mine. The prospect is associated with a prominent, elliptical shaped magnetic anomaly, approximately 700m long.
Figure 2: Locations of deep depression in footwall contact modelled from recent RC drilling at Black Swan South prospect (1VD magnetic intensity image)
An evaluation of the historical geochemical assay data by Moho's Geochemical Consultant, Richard Carver of GC Xplore Pty Ltd identified geochemical targets prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation for drill testing. (Moho Resources Ltd (MOH) ASX announcement 6/5/2022 “Positive Geochemical Nickel Review of Black Swan South”)
Preliminary Findings from RC Drill Program:
Moho completed 1,914m of RC drilling in 12 drill holes (BSSMRC001 to BSSMRC012) varying from 110m to 200m deep on E27/623 (Figure 2).
==> picture [336 x 324] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: Location of proposed passive seismic surveys in relation to recent RC drilling at Black Swan South prospect (1VD magnetic intensity image)
The program successfully outlined the topography of the footwall contact of the ultramafic immediately below the base of the komatiite sequence and showed a 25 to 30m deep depression (BSSMRC003, 004, 007 and 008) at the southern end of the prospect plunging southeast. Testing of the depression will determine if it develops further into a channel at depth and provides a site for settling and accumulation of nickel sulphide mineralisation.
The komatiite sequence is closed off to the northeast as BSSMRC012 did intersect any komatiite. BSSMRC009 drilled at the southeast end of the magnetic anomaly intersected komatiite before entering the footwall rocks which indicates a southeast plunge of the entire komatiite sequence.
BSSMRC002 drilled up dip from the modelled EM anomaly below intersected about 150m of saprolite before entering into the foot wall tuffs and volcanics. This is different from all the other holes drilled during this RC drill program where the saprolite profile generally is about 50m deep.
Composite samples (1 – 4m interval) have been collected for all drill holes and 635 samples have been submitted for analysis. These assay results are pending from the laboratory. To facilitate a down hole EM survey hole BSSMRC004 was cased with 50mm pvc, BSSMRC002 also marked for a survey was blocked at 24m.
Moho has completed a passive seismic survey to investigate the deeper weathering profile intersected in BSSMRC002. The Company has previously used passive seismic to investigate regolith across its Silver Swan North
Project and at the Arrowhead prospect at the Empress Springs in Queensland. This geophysical method is a cheap and effective method of delineating the structural setting and the weathering profile.
A total of 4 lines of passive seismic for 3.2km of passive seismic (Figure 3) were used to investigate the weathering profile, with results to be modelled and integrated with RC drilling data and assay results.
Dukes Nickel Targets (E27/613)
Figure 4: Coincident copper and nickel soil anomalies overlying magnetic anomaly associated with interpreted ultramafic unit at Dukes nickel prospect
During the quarter the Company provided an encouraging update on the nickel sulphide prospectivity of the Dukes prospect. The Dukes prospect is part of Moho’s 100% owned Silver Swan North Project and is located on E27/613 and E27/626, 10 km northwest of the Silver Swan nickel mine and approximately 40 km NNE of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia (Figure 1).
Nickel Targets: Surface geochemical sampling was completed on E27/613 and E27/626 in 2020 as part of Moho’s project-wide gold exploration program. The anomalous nickel results were first announced by Moho on 29 September 2021 (refer to ASX announcement “Nickel Sulphide Targets to be Drill Tested at Silver Swan North”). Multiple zones of >100 ppm nickel were noted at the time within a broader anomalous zone approximately 3km in length. Maximum nickel values of 2460, 1150 and 951ppm nickel were reported, with the anomalies having a strong coincidence with an interpreted metamorphosed ultramafic rock unit which may have similarities to the Black Swan Ultramafic Complex, host of the Black Swan, Silver Swan and Golden Swan nickel deposits.
A recent evaluation of the base metal assay data generated from the surface sampling program by Moho's Geochemical Consultant, Richard Carver of GC Xplore Pty Ltd has identified several geochemical targets prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation. These targets consist of coincident nickel and copper anomalies. (Figure 4).
Coincident nickel and copper anomalies can indicate the presence of nickel in sulphide mineralisation, unlike single nickel anomalies that are generally the result of nickel content of ultramafics. The coincident anomalies overly a magnetic high representing the Dukes komatiites. Moho notes that the Dukes prospect has not been drill tested for nickel.
Dukes Program:
-
Planned an RC drilling program of 2 to 4 holes using existing approved Program of Works
-
Undertake infill and additional soil geochemical sampling over komatiitic sequences not previously sampled
-
Commissioned heritage survey over relevant area of tenements for further drilling operations expected to be completed in early November 2022.
-
Initiate a comprehensive nickel sulphide exploration program, including RC drilling across coincident nickel and copper geochemical soil anomalies and geophysical surveys
Burracoppin REE Exploration
During the Quarter Moho released the results of a preliminary evaluation by consultant geochemist Richard Carver of Rare Earths Elements (REE) assay data in the soils within Moho’s 100%-owned tenements at its Burracoppin in Western Australia. The Burracoppin project is situated in the WA Wheatbelt and is located about 15km northeast of the regional town of Merredin and 22km west of the Edna May gold mine operated by Ramelius Resources.
The Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE), Nd and Pr in soil samples were collected from within Moho’s 100%-owned tenements during July 2022. The program was initially aimed at identifying anomalous soils for gold and base metals. It excluded any geochemical evaluation of REE assay data on E70/4688 where the majority of expenditure has been incurred by Moho over the last 7 years at Burracoppin.
Moho and IGO Limited (ASX:IGO) have an unincorporated joint venture for the purpose of exploring and, if warranted, developing and mining. Moho anticipates releasing the geochemical evaluation of the REE relating to this tenement following appropriate discussions with IGO.
Total Rare Earth Elements in Soils:
Table 1: Highest value of REE in soils at Burracoppin
| TREE | Ce | Dy | Yb | Er | Eu | Gd | Ho | La | Lu | Nd | Pr |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1959 | 742 | 33 | 13 | 16 | 13 | 49 | 6 | 386 | 2 | 371 | 93 |
| HREE | MAGNET LREE |
The distribution of TREE is illustrated in Figure 1 and the maximum values of individual REE are listed in Table 1.

Figure 5: Neodymium and Praseodymium distribution in soils at Burracoppin
Observations of the TREE in the soils at Burracoppin:
-
Despite variations in regolith cover, the soil sampling has successfully highlighted several areas of anomalous TREE.
-
The Burracoppin terrain has abundant granite and granite gneiss rocks as potential sources for TREE.
-
The lower TREE values typically come from the topographically higher areas (>320m).
-
In the upland areas the higher TREE values are in the lower parts of the topography around the streams suggesting the TREE values are increasing down slope in the weathered material.
-
The increasing TREE down slope are best illustrated by a 250-500 ppm contour high to the East of area F.
-
The higher TREE values in some areas may reflect areas of exposed ionic clays on the edge of a channel which have been exposed by erosion of overlying sediment. For example, area E has the highest detected TREE value of 1959 ppm TREE.
Neodymium and Praseodymium in Soils:
The following comments are pertinent to the distribution of Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr) oxides observed to date in soils at Burracoppin:
-
The distribution of NdPr is similar to the distribution of TREE.
-
In area E (Figure 5) there are a number of high values including one highly anomalous value (541 ppm NdPr oxide).
-
Figure 5 illustrates individual NdPr oxide values which are comparable with that identified by exploration companies in the area north of Esperance eg the Belgian Road Prospect which was highlighted by a >150ppm NdPr oxide anomaly over a 5km strike.
Burracoppin REE Program:
-
Finalise and release the geochemical evaluation of lithium, base metals and gold at Burracoppin.
-
Further soil sampling for TREE. To fill in limited sampling across the project to date
-
Aircore drilling to test for ionic clay REE development once crops have been harvested.
