COMPANY PROJECTS – WESTERN AUSTRALIA
NEPEAN NICKEL PROJECT
The Nepean Nickel Project contains the historic high-grade Nepean nickel sulphide mine, which was the second producing nickel mine in Australia, producing 1,108,457t of ore between 1970 and 1987 for 32,202t of nickel metal at an average recovered grade of 2.99% Ni.
During the period, exploration at the Nepean Nickel Project primarily focussed on the Nepean Deeps drill programme targeting economic nickel sulphide mineralisation below the historic Nepean nickel mine workings. At the end of the reporting period, the Company had drilled the first diamond drill-hole NPDD008 to a down-hole depth of 1,210m (completed shortly after the reporting period on 4[th] October to a down-hole depth of 1,291m). DHEM and downhole magnetometric resistivity (DHMMR) surveys are planned to be completed straight after the completion of the maiden drill-hole.
The drill programme was designed to test for down-plunge extensions to the high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation below the historic Nepean mine at the Nepean Nickel Project. NPDD008 is the first drill-hole to successfully drill through the thick pegmatite intrusion below the historic Nepean nickel mine. Below this pegmatite, the drill-hole intersected a greenstone sequence that importantly includes 46m of prospective komatiitic ultramafics over three intervals from 1088.5 - 1108.5m, 1144.5 – 1148.35m and 1210.5 - 1233m (Figure 1).
The Company commenced a Scoping Study, which will evaluate the economic viability of several mining scenarios at Nepean, including an initial open pit mine of the known shallow high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation, which could generate significant cashflow in the short to medium term, as well as potential underground mining scenarios of the known high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Figure 1 – Cross section of diamond hole NPDD008 showing lithologies intersected, including multiple ultramafic units, against a 2D seismic survey section. The thick pegmatite intrusion below the mine corresponds with an area of weaker reflectors, while greenstone sequences generally have stronger reflectors.
Earlier in the period, the Company completed a major ground MLEM survey along strike to the north and south of the historic Nepean nickel mine. Several conductors were successfully identified, the stronger of which was drilled with a short RC programme (Figure 2). However, the prospectivity of these conductors is now considered to be low.

Diamond Drilling Programme
During the period, assay results were received for the first drill-hole from a three-hole diamond programme completed at Nepean in May this year. Hole NPDD007 was drilled into the known shallow high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation directly south of the historic Nepean nickel mine (Figure 3).[1] The results confirmed the high-grade and high tenor nature of the modelled near-surface nickel sulphide mineralisation:
4.64m @ 2.99% Ni & 0.13% Cu from 71.58m
The hole was the Company’s first diamond drill-hole into the shallow high-grade mineralisation and was completed to better understand the assemblages and textures of the sulphides, as well as to initiate thin-section studies and metallurgical test work on this near-surface mineralisation. The drill-hole initially intersected a zone of weak to moderate disseminated sulphides from 65.00m – 71.58m (6.58m @ 0.42% Ni) leading into the high-grade nettextured sulphides from 71.58m – 76.22m down-hole.

For the period ending 30 September 2021
LEINSTER NICKEL PROJECT
During the reporting period, assay results were received for nine RC drill-holes and one diamond drill-hole as part of a 14-hole (3,400m) regional drill programme designed to test the Woodwind, Percussion, Brass and Firefly Prospects (Figure 5). The prospects are interpreted to contain the same ultramafic stratigraphy that hosts the known shallow high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation at the Horn Prospect located directly along strike to the south, making these prospects high-priority drill targets.[2]
The dual phase first-pass drill programme consisted of five high priority diamond drillholes drilled in March and April, followed by nine RC holes drilled in May and June. Diamond core results were announced in June with one hole (HNDD011) pending at the time. Significant results from the latest assay batch include:
-
8m @ 0.45% Ni from 19m (WDRC001)
-
5m @ 0.30% Ni from 66m & 4m @ 0.30% Ni from 80m (WDRC004)
-
7m @ 0.40% Ni from 52m (WDRC005)
-
2m @ 0.50% Ni from 30m (WDRC007)
-
1m @ 0.56% Ni from 159m (WDRC008)
-
1m @ 0.45% Ni from 41m (FFRC004)
-
4m @ 0.30% Ni from 251m (HNDD011)
DHEM surveys have now been completed on all drill-holes. Two conductive targets have been identified from drillholes at the Woodwind and Brass Prospects. At Woodwind, an off-hole conductor ranging between 2,000–3,000S was detected southeast of, and below, WDRC007 (Figure 5 and Figure 6). Due to the distance off-hole and the strike of the modelled conductor, it is not yet clear if this is associated with an ultramafic unit. The conductor at Woodwind represents a priority follow up target, which will be tested in the second phase of RC drilling.
At the Brass Prospect, a thin intersection of disseminated nickel sulphides in WDRC008 (1m @ 0.56% Ni) occurs on the prospective ultramafic–basalt lithological contact. This is located above an off-hole DHEM conductor (Figure 6). The EM response has been modelled with a moderate to high conductance of 3,000-6,000S centred just north of the drill-hole. This conductor will also be tested in the next phase of RC drilling at the Leinster Project.

SAINTS NICKEL PROJECT
During the period, a Scoping Study of potential underground mining scenarios at the high-grade Saints Nickel Project was initiated, to be run in parallel to the study at Nepean, taking advantage of synergies between the projects to reduce the overall costs of the studies. Saints currently hosts a high-grade JORC-2012 Mineral Resource of 1.05Mt @ 2 %Ni & 0.2% Cu for over 21kt of contained nickel.[3]
Auroch has an existing offtake agreement in place for Saints with BHP Nickel West (ASX:BHP), whilst high-grade ore from the historic nickel mine at Nepean, when in production, was processed at the Kambalda Nickel Operations (KNO) that BHP is currently preparing to re-start early next year.
COMPANY PROJECTS – SOUTH AUSTRALIA
ARDEN COPPER-ZINC PROJECT
A statutory work permit ( PEPR ) application for the planned diamond drill programme was approved by the Department for Energy and Mining ( DEM ) in South Australia.[4] The programme will comprise four diamond drill-holes for up to 1,000m of drilling to test the high-grade zinc target at Ragless Range.
An Aboriginal Heritage Agreement ( AHA ) was recently executed between Auroch and the Nukunu Wapma Thura Aboriginal Corporation. Representatives of both the Traditional Owners and Auroch will conduct a site clearance survey in the area of the drill programme at Ragless Range.
The Company has also finalised a Land Access Agreement with the freehold landowners of the property that contains the Ragless Range Prospect.
The planned drill programme comprises four diamond drill-holes to test for Sedimentary Exhalative ( SEDEX ) zinc mineralisation previously identified in the Company’s 2018 diamond drill programme, with drillhole RRDD007 intersecting 12.8m @ 4.96% Zn from 53m, including 3.65m @ 15.47% Zn from 62.15m.
The high-grade zinc mineralisation identified in this drilling was primarily associated with the zinc mineral smithsonite (ZnCO3), which often occurs as a result of oxidation above/around many major zinc ore deposits. The drill programme will largely focus on a significant gravity anomaly extending over 2km in the Ragless Range syncline west of the previous drill-holes (Figure 6). The gravity anomaly may be indicative of thickened mineralised horizons of highdensity, high-grade zinc mineralisation. Previous mineralisation intersected in the shallow drilling and outcropping gossans may have been restricted to horizons within the narrower fold limbs (Figure 7), hence testing the interpreted anomaly at depth is warranted.
