Completion of Acquisition of Highly Prospective Nickel Copper PGE’s Sulphide Project, East Kimberley, WA

Highlights :

  • Lycaon has completed the acquisition of 100% of a highly prospective nickel, copper ± PGE’s sulphide project in the East Kimberley, Western Australia

  • Historical drilling[1] intersected massive to disseminated sulphides with best results: 3.17m @ 1.45% Ni, 0.41% Cu and 0.14% Co (DDH102) 10m @ 1.1% Cu, 0.5% Ni (DDH107) 12m @ 0.45% Cu, 0.12% Ni (BRRC002)

  • Significant potential to discover greater mineralisation at depth and along 5km strike within mafic intrusive host rock

  • The Project hasn’t had any modern exploration for over a decade, prior to the discovery of Savannah North which significantly increased the geological understanding and prospectivity of the region

  • High-powered modern day ground electromagnetics surveys to be completed to investigate beyond the current scope of historical drilling and geophysical surveys

  • East Kimberley a proven nickel producing region with Panoramic Resources’ (ASX.PAN) Savannah Mine 13.5Mt @ 1.56% Ni[2] , located 60km to the south

  • The Savannah North discovery (170,300t)[2] Ni in 2014 by Panoramic, demonstrates the high potential for further discoveries

  • Panoramic and IGO actively exploring in the region for critical minerals including nickel, copper, cobalt and PGE’s

  • New tenement application ELA 80/5774 100% owned by Lycaon Resources covering 620km² of prospective Sally Downs Supersuite and Tickalara Metamorphics, Figure 1

Figure 1. Location of Bow River and Salt Lick nickel copper sulphide projects and new tenement application ELA80/5774

The Bow River Project is located within the Halls Creek Mobile Zone in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Project comprises one granted exploration licences E80/4955, held by East Kimberley Resources Pty Ltd. Furthermore, Lycaon has applied for an additional tenement ELA 80/5774 covering 620km² of prospective Sally Downs Supersuite and Tickalara Metamorphics, (Figure 1).

The Project area covers two known nickel-copper-cobalt sulphide prospects mapped as the Salt Lick Creek intrusion and the Bow River intrusion. Both intrusives are sulphide-bearing and similar in style and setting to Panoramic Resources’ Savannah mine, located approximately 60 kilometres further south. The relatively recent discovery (2014) of the Savannah North resource at depth adjoining the existing mine (effectively quadrupling the Ni-Cu-Co resource) has highlighted the prospectivity of E80/4955 given its analogous geological setting.
