NEPEAN… ANOTHER FLYING FOX?
-
Nepean is a historic nickel sulphide mine constrained at depth by a pegmatite which immediately draws an analogy to Western Area’s (ASX:WSA) Flying Fox nickel mine and the subsequent discovery of Spotted Quoll along strike
-
Nepean is <500m deep and has produced over 32kt Ni thus far; Flying Fox is >1,200m and has produced over 100kt Ni so far!*

Drilling at Nepean: targeting several shallow high-grade targets to the south of the historic mine in addition to new high impact mafic-ultramafic targets along strike to the north of the mine
-
Drilling at Leinster along the untested northwest trend, targeting series of aeromagnetic anomalies. Potential for additional drilling at Valdez, Sinclair North & Firefly
-
Targeting maiden JORC(2012) -compliant resource estimates for Nepean & Leinster and a potential upgrade to the Saints resource to an Indicated Resource confidence
-
Negotiate Toll Treating and Offtake agreements with BHP
-
Expanding the core team with employment of a CFO and three more geologists to support drilling
-
Appointment of another NED to the Board of Directors with expertise in Ni sulphide production

WHY NICKEL, WHY AUROCH?
==> picture [138 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
AUROCH LEVERAGED TO CLASS 1 NICKEL DEMAND
- Nickel price is at 15month high and climbing
Refined Nickel Supply Capacity & Demand (By Class of Nickel, Kt Estimate, McKinsey, Sept 2020 )
- Primary nickel
consumption projected to increase by 6% YOY in 2021
With current trends, Class 1 nickel is expected to be undersupplied
- Within the broader nickel
market, the scarcity of nickel sulphide deposits is contributing to an even greater looming shortage of Class 1 nickel which can be used in batteries
• Electric vehicle disruption: increased uptake on EVs and improving battery technology requiring more and more Ni
