Resource Mining Corporation Ltd (ASX:RMI) has kicked off its maiden 2000-metre reverse circulation drill program at the Liparamba Nickel Project in Southern Tanzania.
The program is targeting a two-kilometre-long 'Southern Corridor' that was identified in recent work by the company and previous exploration work by BHP/Albidon.
During the fieldwork, RMI confirmed the presence of sulphides within mafics along this corridor as defined by the recent geophysical survey.
Looking ahead, the company's drilling is expected to take 4-5 weeks to complete with results anticipated in the next quarter.
High prospectivity
RMI CEO Andrew Nesbitt said: “With the completion of the initial geophysical program and continuing exploration works at the Liparamba Nickel Project, the prospectivity of the area remains extremely high and has confirmed numerous specific targets that match the previous explorer’s interpretation.
“We are confident that this drill program will successfully advance the company’s strategy of locating significant nickel resources within our Tanzanian project portfolio.”
Forward plan
A total of 12, 150-metre-deep reverse circulation (RC) drill holes have been planned along the Southern Corridor of the Liparamba Project.
The RC drill program will concentrate on the coincidental anomalies from the AMT and AEM data, as well as recent geological field surveys and previous soil surveys.
