Rumble Enters Option Agreement to Acquire the Fraser Range Nickel Copper Project

  • The Fraser Range Project is located in the emerging Nickel province which hosts the recently discovered Nova Nickel Copper Massive Sulphide Discovery by Sirius Resources NL (SIR).

  • The option agreement provides Rumble with a strategic opportunity to assess a prospective nickel/copper target in the underexplored and highly prospective Fraser Range province.

  • Previous exploration by Teck Australia Pty Ltd intersected metagabbro rock units which age dating by GSWA indicate a similar age to the Nova Discovery rock units.

  • A sub-circular gravity high is a priority target for an airborne EM survey

Rumble Resources Ltd (“Rumble”, ASX:RTR) is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired an option to purchase the Fraser Range Project located within the highly prospective Fraser Complex of the Albany-Fraser Tectonic Zone.

Previous drilling on the Fraser Range Project consisted of 2 diamond drill holes completed by Teck Australia Pty Ltd (Teck) between 2007 and 2010 focussing on Cu-Au (IOCG style) mineralisation. The two diamond drill holes targeted a sub circular gravity anomaly and a magnetic anomaly (Figure 2). The exploration failed to identify IOCG style mineralisation and the project was relinquished. Of significance is that the exploration was completed prior to the recently discovered Nova Nickel Copper Massive Sulphide discovery by Sirius Resources NL.

Teck completed interpretation of the diamond drilling including geochemistry, petrographic studies and age dating of the various rock units. In reviewing this data, Rumble’s technical team has identified that the previous exploration intersected metagabbro rock units which also host the Nova Nickel Copper discovery.

Of importance is that the age dating of the rocks by the Geological Survey of WA (GSWA) suggests the metagabbro rock units at the Fraser Range Project are of a similar age to the Nova Discovery rock units.

Data supplied by the vendors has also included detailed airborne magnetics, two ground gravity surveys and regional geochemistry which will continue to be interpreted by the Rumble technical team.

The Rumble technical team has noted the second core hole drilled by Teck failed to intersect the source of the gravity high anomaly and this will be a high priority target for further exploration which will include airborne and ground EM surveys, which are proven to be very effective at identifying massive sulphide bodies.

The Fraser Range is fast becoming the world’s most exciting Nickel province with current exploration activity by Buxton Resources Limited, Sheffield Resources Ltd, Boadicea Resources Ltd, Enterprise Metals Limited, Matsa Resources Ltd and of course Sirius Resources NL all at different phases of exploration and development.

Managing Director Comment

The Managing Director of Rumble, Mr Andrew McBain, said “the Fraser Range Project will provide Rumble shareholders with exposure to exploration in what is fast becoming the world’s most exciting emerging Nickel province. The previous drilling by Teck targeted IOCG mineralisation which was not intersected and was completed prior to the recent Nova Discovery. The Rumble technical team has since identified that the previous exploration intersected metagabbro rock units which also host the Nova Nickel Copper discovery. Of importance is the Age dating by GSWA which suggests the metagabbro rock units at the Fraser Range Project are a similar age to the Nova Discovery rock units, indicating the intrusions could have happened at the same time”.

“Rumble will put together a cost effective work program focused on identifying Nickel and Copper mineralisation of similar style to the Nova discovery, which will initially include a low-cost airborne EM survey, which has proven to be very effective at identifying massive sulphide bodies”.
