Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) (Moho or Company) is pleased to announce its quarterly results for the period ending 31 December 2021, in which the Company expanded its activities through tenement acquisitions as well as extensive drilling.
Commenting on technical developments during the quarter, Managing Director Mr Shane Sadleir said:
“Moho has made significant advances as we gear up for exploration success in 2022.
“The acquisition of the Whistlepipe project has evolved rapidly with 15 granted and applied for exploration licences in seven areas considered prospective for Ni, Cu and PGEs within the western and southwestern margins of the Yilgarn craton and the Albany-Fraser orogen.
“Moho has also accelerated nickel exploration at our 100% owned Silver Swan North Project, with RC and diamond drilling underway to test an EM target at the Omrah prospect and magnetic anomalies coincident with favourable ultramafic rocks at the Wise prospect.
“The recent grant of an under-explored exploration licence to Moho so close to where Poseidon recently announced high grade nickel intersections at Silver Swan is a very exciting development as we ramp up our nickel exploration in this immediate area.
“Additionally, we have expanded our nickel interests at Silver Swan North with the strategic acquisition of the rights to explore for and mine nickel and associated metals in 20 adjacent tenements from Yandal Resources. With a bigger footprint we have a greater chance to encounter economic nickel sulphide mineralisation.
“The discovery of gold mineralisation in bedrock following aircore drilling of soil anomalies at the Tyrells and Hodges gold prospects augers well for the potential to prove up further mineral resources around the East Sampson Dam gold deposit.
“Moho has received encouraging assay results from the diamond drilling at the Crossroads prospect at the Burracoppin Project. Gold mineralisation remains open north, west and depth and clearly warrants further follow-up exploration.”
Whistlepipe Project
During the quarter, Moho Resources entered into an agreement with Whistlepipe Exploration Pty Ltd (Whistlepipe) to acquire a granted exploration licence and technical information relating to another six Project areas which are considered prospective for nickel, copper and associated battery and precious metals in Western Australia.
Since entering into the agreement with Whistlepipe Moho has lodged 11 exploration licence applications with the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) over the six Project areas. The tenements 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 (see Figure 1).
Moho considers the tenements 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 maficultramafic intrusive complex located on the western margin of the Yilgarn craton.
Moho is 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.
In addition to the acquisition, 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.
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 siting of discovery holes) and provided geophysical services 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.

In addition to their key involvement with the Gonneville discovery at Julimar (maiden JORC resource anticipated in mid Q4 2021), 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.
Silver Swan North Project
==> picture [447 x 558] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Location of Yandal tenements to be acquired by Moho in relation to mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy prospective for nickel mineralisation and current nickel exploration targets at Silver Swan North Project
The Company has been active at its Silver Swan North gold-nickel project located approximately 50km from the Western Australian mining hub of Kalgoorlie, completing tenement acquisitions, conducting RC drilling and receiving and reviewing assay results.
Strategic Agreement with Yandal to Secure Nickel Rights
In November, Moho announced the strategic acquisition of rights to Ni, Cu and PGEs in 20 nickel-prospective tenements from Yandal Resources Ltd (Yandal).
The Tenement package covers an area of approximately 8.7km[2] of prospective mafic-ultramafic Highway Formation stratigraphy known to host nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Under the Agreement, Moho will acquire from Yandal the exclusive right to access, explore for, own, mine, recover, process and sell all nickel, copper, cobalt and Platinum Group Elements extracted from the and associated minerals on 15 granted mining tenements held by Yandal in exchange for a 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty.
The Company will also vend four mining tenements under option and a tenement application to Yandal while retaining the rights for nickel, copper and PGEs and NSR gold royalties.
The Yandal tenements adjoin Moho’s Silver Swan North Project and are located within 20km of Poseidon Nickel’s deposits and processing plant at Black Swan (see Figure 2)
RC and diamond Drilling at Omrah and Wise Nickel Prospects
Moho has also been active at the Omrah and Wise nickel targets within the Silver Swan North project, with an RC and diamond drilling campaign underway (see Figures 2 & 3) to test for ultramafic hosted massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation and other ultramafics in the vicinity.
==> picture [518 x 253] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: RC rig set up for drilling at Omrah nickel prospect
The Omrah prospect is host to an untested electromagnetic (EM) conductor which has been confirmed by interpretation of multiple surveys. The approximately 500m long conductive plate is centred at 155m depth, striking SE with a dip of 70° to the NE. The surface projection of the conductor is coincident with the footwall of a magnetic marker horizon.
A 3,000m RC and diamond drilling program is planned to not only test the conductor, but also target additional ultramafic lithologies in the proximity.
RC drilling commenced in late November and the rig will then move to the nearby Wise prospect to commence 1,200m of RC drilling to investigate magnetic anomalies associated with ultramafic rocks and anomalous historic nickel intercepts.
Moho Granted Under-Explored Tenement Adjoining Poseidon’s Nickel Operation
==> picture [436 x 531] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: Location of E27/623 in relation to Poseidon’s Black Swan Nickel Operations and Moho’s Silver Swan North tenements over aeromagnetic image
The nickel prospectivity of the Silver Swan North Project was enhanced in December when Moho was granted exploration licence E27/263 (Figure 4). E27/623 adjoins the southern boundary of Black Swan Nickel Operation where Poseidon Nickel Ltd announced extraordinarily high grade nickel intersections at their Silver Swan nickel sulphide deposit. Moho considers E27/623 to be under-explored and hence prospective for nickel and gold. The initial exploration program will be focused on target generation prior to EM surveys and drilling.
Positive Aircore Drilling Results at Tyrells and Hodges Prospects
==> picture [429 x 528] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Recent Aircore drilling, showing maximum gold in hole and proximity to East Sampson Dam
In December Moho announced positive results from aircore drilling at the Tyrells and Hodges prospects. Tyrells and Hodges are two prospective areas located along strike to the north of the East Sampson Dam deposit (see Figure 5), where the company has declared an Interim Mineral Resource Estimate (2012) of 264,000t @ 2.5g/t Au for 21,600 ounces Au at a 0.5g/t cut-off grade.
158 holes were drilled for 7,659m, with all holes geologically logged for lithology, alteration and veining. Magnetic susceptibility readings were also taken every metre down hole. Assays have been encouraging with drilling identifying multiple bedrock gold anomalies.
At Tyrells a structurally-controlled, mineralised corridor of over 800 metres was identified. The main bedrock anomaly was located approximately 1km north-northeast of the East Sampson Dam deposit.
Best intersections included:
-
SSA0091 - 8m @ 1.05g/t Au from 48m, including 4m @ 1.54g/t Au from 48m
-
SSA0090 - 8m @ 0.57g/t Au from 52m
-
SSA0016 - 8m @ 0.56g/t Au from 16m
-
SSA0101 - 4m @ 0.88g/t Au from 36m
At Hodges, Moho encountered mineralisation associated with a footwall of dolerite/ultramafic contact with chloritesilica alteration proximal to shear zone.
Best intersections included:
-
SSA0146 - 12m @ 0.74g/t Au from 48m, including 1m@ 1.67g/t Au from 59m
-
SSA0145 - 12m @ 0.57g/t Au from 12m
-
SSA0124 - 1m @ 0.62g/t Au from 47m (EOH)
Burracoppin Gold Project
During the quarter, Moho received assay results from four diamond drill holes completed at the Company’s Crossroads prospect, within the Burracoppin project, located in the WA wheatbelt approximately 22 km west of the Edna May gold mine.
The company completed four holes for 630m primarily targeting mineralisation intersected in the January 2021 RC drilling program (see ASX announcement 11 May 2021).
All drillholes were geologically examined to identify lithology, veining, alteration and structures. All core was halved and sampled, with sample intervals determined by lithological boundaries, veining and structures. Assaying for gold and a multielement suite was completed by Bureau Veritas Perth by 40g Aqua Regia digest and ICP OES/MS analysis.
Pleasingly, three holes had numerous Intercepts of gold > 0.1g/t Au and confirmed previous RC drilling (see Figure 6).
Gold assays from diamond drilling include:
-
0.89m @ 0.79g/t Au from 75.91m (BCMH0072)
-
1m @ 0.49 g/t Au from 29.2m and 1m @ 0.41 g/t Au from 55.5m (BCMH0070)
Significant silver mineralisation was also intersected in three holes, including:
- 2.4m @ 8.50 g/t Ag from 12.4m in BCMH00073
Bedrock gold mineralisation remains open to the north, west and at depth and a broad, >50m thick anomalous gold zone has been confirmed on western side of Crossroads prospect.
