LOCATION, MINERALISATION STYLE
Wollogorang Cobalt Project, Northern Territory
Arunta Lithium, REE Project, Northern Territory
N27’s Wollogorang Cobalt Project is a sediment hosted cobalt mineralisation system which has potential for low CAPEX and OPEX options due to:
-
Oxide mineralisation is dominated by asbolane and primary is predominantly siegenite - a cobalt sulphide mineral
-
Cobalt dominant mineralisation occurs from surface
-
Flat lying sediment hosted mineralisation - likely open pit operations
-
Occurs in a supportive first-world mining jurisdiction
THE STANTON COBALT DEPOSIT IS IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY, AUSTRALIA
NORTHERN COBALT has recognised the growing importance of cobalt sourced from developed world jurisdictions

EXPLORATION POTENTIAL – Wollogorang Project
NEW EXPLORATION METHOD
-
Use Toyota air core rig for initial shallow drill testing to 5-10m to get beneath thin cover to host rocks
-
First pass drilling is analogous to surface sampling but with more effective coverage
-
Generate new drill targets from surface mineralisation.
-
Define extent of new mineralisation with deeper follow-up drilling to 30-40m
-
Rapid, low cost, target assessment
-
Undertake resource drilling with larger RC dill rig on best prospects

CRA LAG SAMPLING ~1990’s
-
Took approximately 5,400 surface lag samples
-
Didn’t discriminate between transported and insitu regolith
-
Resulted in large areas of null results where sampling occurred over transported cover
-
Resulted in false anomalies in areas of outcrop

NEW EXPLORATION METHOD
-
First pass aircore drilling is complete
-
973 aircore holes completed
-
Assays received for 800 of 973 reconnaissance shallow air core drill holes
-
154 of 800 (~19%) of the holes have anomalous cobalt in excess of 100 ppm Co
-
Dramatically increases the effectiveness of regional exploration

COPPER VS COBALT RICH ZONES:
-
Copper appears to be controlled by the Gregjo Fault
-
Cobalt is anomalous in aircore drilling in the central part of the magnetic low zone (similar to Stanton Co Deposit)
-
Drilling is now continuing along the Gregjo Fault Zone to define extent of Cu mineralisation
-
Then move to centre of mag low to test Co
