"That Nathan has decided to join the Rumble team in a corporate advisory role is great news for the Company and certainly validates our belief in the quality of our assets that we have in the Fraser Range.

“The value creation that will come from Nathan’s involvement will be transformational for Rumble as he is incentivised to grow the value of Rumble substantially, and will no doubt attract further global investment in the Company through his deep network across Asia

“The Board welcomes Nathan’s return to the resources sector by joining Rumble and we look forward to his strategic advice going forward.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Tinkler said : “The Fraser Range is one of the most favourable exploration destinations in the world, with only small companies still present in the region leveraged to exploration upside.

“Rumble represents one of the best opportunities in the area and ticks all the boxes; quality management committed to building long term shareholder value, several prospective projects and a major footprint in the region.

“The Fraser Range area is analogous with Canada’s Thomson Nickel Belt which hosts the Voisey Bay deposit compared to the Canadian areas, Western Australia’s Fraser Range is in its relative infancy, with only Sirius’s Nova-Bollinger deposit found so far. I believe this could well be a world class nickel province in the making.

“I am very much looking forward to working with Shane and the Board and management at Rumble Resources. They are an experienced and dedicated team and there is significant value to be built at Rumble’s Fraser Range projects – in particular the Big Red and Zanthus projects – going forward.”

Fraser Range Projects

Rumble has one of the largest foot prints in the Fraser Range with over 3200 sq km’s of ground. Rumble is focused on two main projects in the Fraser Range:

  • The Zanthus Project, 20km East of Sirius Resources Ltd’s Nova-Bollinger discovery, and the Big Red Project, 450km East of Kalgoorlie. Both projects are highly prospective for major nickel sulphide discoveries. Rumble has a joint venture agreement with Blackham Resources Ltd (ASX:BLK).

There has been a slight delay on the heritage survey for the scheduled Zanthus drilling program due to the wet conditions. This has been rescheduled for this week.

The planned high impact drilling at Zanthus will consist of five RC drill holes for 1200 metres to target 5 bedrock conductors which may represent magmatic massive Nickel Sulphides. Three of the five conductors are of high conductance and are first order Fraser Range drill targets. They are located in and around an “eye” intrusive feature interpreted as an elliptical magnetic rimmed intrusive body some 2km in length and up to 1km wide and of similar size to the Nova “eye” feature.

  • The Big Red Project is prospective for both massive nickel and copper sulphides, with the recent maiden drill program intersecting pentlandite (nickel) and chalcopyrite (copper) in Fraser Range Gabbro. Two very high conductance off hole conductors up to 8000 siemens in close proximity have since been defined and prioritised as first order drill targets. Technical preparation is now under way to determine the next phase of drilling in 2015 following the Zanthus drilling.
