NickelSearch Ltd (ASX:NIS) continues to strike visual nickel sulphide mineralisation at Sexton Prospect in the first of two diamond holes at the Carlingup Nickel Sulphide Project near Ravensthorpe in Western Australia.
Drilling at the deeper target of the lower mineralised horizon (LMH) struck multiple sulphide intersections ranging from 0.25 to 0.95 metres thick over a 9.85-metre interval.
Sexton’s overall plunge length is now confirmed to extend to 190 metres and remains open both up- and down-plunge.
Logged results showed the mineralisation increasing in thickness going downwards.
Samples from the drill holes will be sent for laboratory analysis, with assays expected in 5-6 weeks.

Greatly optimistic
NickelSearch managing director Nicole Duncan said: “Diamond drilling is ongoing at Sexton, one of our highly prospective targets at Carlingup.
“This is the second intersection of visual nickel mineralisation for this first diamond hole, which aims to confirm the presence of thicker sulphide mineralisation down plunge at Sexton which we identified from our earlier RC drilling campaign.
“This additional intersection confirms the presence of massive sulphide mineralisation at depth and gives us significant optimism around our nickel sulphide exploration program.
“We eagerly look forward to assay results in the coming weeks.”
Up next
The explorer is making preparations to drill the second diamond hole about 60 metres along strike of the first, to a depth of 250 metres.
A third diamond hole will be drilled at the B1 Prospect, where the company intercepted sulphide-bearing komatiites last month, of which assay results are pending.
