NickelX Ltd (ASX:NKL) has contracted a moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey over four multi-element targets at the Dalwallinu Project in Western Australia, targeting nickel, copper and platinum-group-element (PGE) mineralisation.
The survey will cover a 200-metre by 200-metre grid with 100-metre station spacings and an east-west orientation.
NKL intends to leverage the data from the survey to identify promising anomalies, combined with magnetic survey data and close-spaced auger soil sampling to refine drill-ready targets.
Advancing exploration at Dalwallinu
“The upcoming MLEM survey, combined with the recently completed magnetic surveys and close-spaced infill auger drilling soil sampling program over the historical anomalous nickel-copper-PGE soil geochemistry targets, represents a significant advancement to further refine drill targets at Dalwallinu where the company is seeking Julimar-style nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation,” Nickel X managing director Matt Gauci said.
Previous surface sampling in the target areas returned 73.7 parts per billion (ppb) platinum and palladium, with a 5-kilometre north-south strike grading at 10 ppb platinum and palladium, as well as 466 parts per million (ppm) nickel and 843 ppm copper.

Dalwallinu itself covers some 86 square kilometres of the Barra Barra Greenstone Belt 150 kilometres north of the Julimar mine, on accessible farmland with sealed road frontage.
