Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) has begun a ground-based electromagnetic (EM) geophysical survey at Dukes Nickel Prospect, part of the Silver Swan North Project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
The EM survey will assist in identifying potential nickel sulphide targets within the Dukes ultramafic sequence.
It is expected to take about two weeks to complete and is being undertaken by Gem Geophysics under the supervision of Moho’s consultant geophysicist Kim Frankcombe of ExploreGeo Pty Ltd.
Moving forward, a program of works has been approved by the DMIRS for follow-up RC drilling over the Dukes ultramafic sequence.
Survey summary
Moho’s 100-metre in-loop EM survey is using a high-temperature SQUID sensor coupled to a SMARTem receiver on 200-metre line spacing and at 50-metre stations.
This arrangement allows for the collection of very clean, three-component focused in-loop data that enables discrimination between anomalies caused by bedrock conductors and those due to nonmineral related regolith effects such as SPM (Super Para-Magnetism).
Forward plan
Moho’s next steps at Duke’s nickel prospect include:
- review pending assay results of preliminary RC drill program;
- process results from the EM survey; and
- plan and undertake follow-up RC drill program.
