Ardea Resources Limited announced a massive nickel sulphide discovery at its Kalpini Project, 70km northeast of Kalgoorlie, WA. Highlights: Diamond drill hole AELD0003 intersects massive nickel sulphide mineralisation on an intact basal contact in the West Channel. The nickel sulphide is on the same komatiite basal flow contact intersected in adjoining diamond drill hole AELD0002 (4.8m of mineralisation, up to 4.78% nickel from 365.9m depth) (ASX release 10 June 2021) With two intersections of massive nickel sulphide now established on the same basal komatiite horizon, Ardea confirms a discovery. Identification of pentlandite (nickel sulphide) and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) confirmed by handheld XRF. Down Hole Electro-Magnetic (DHEM) contractor has commenced work aimed at extending the target zone for follow-up drilling. Kalpini Project - Emu Lake Prospect: Ardea's Kalpini Project covers over 121km2, with the leading nickel sulphide target, Emu Lake, located 70km north- east of Kalgoorlie (Figure 2). This strategic tenement package contains 20km strike of prospective ultramafic stratigraphy held 100% by Ardea and mostly within granted mining leases. The project is 35km east of the Black Swan Nickel Project (Silver Swan mine), operated by Poseidon Nickel Ltd, within a parallel komatiite volcanic belt. The exploration model being applied by Ardea is similar to that modelled at the Silver Swan nickel sulphide mine (Figure 2). Silver Swan has a strike length near surface of less than 50m, but a plunge extent over 1,000m and features very high-grade zones of massive nickel sulphide. AELD0001 was drilled to follow-up on an historic DHEM plate that had not been previously drilled tested. This hole intersected a narrow zone of remobilised nickel sulphide (ASX release 2 March 2021). A DHEM survey completed in this AELD0001 defined an off-hole conductor for drill testing. To test the strong (8,000 siemens) DHEM conductor, diamond drillhole AELD0002 was drilled and intersected a basal nickel sulphide occurrence (ASX release 10 June 2021) and returned assays of: 1.1m @ 4.78% Ni, 0.16% Cu, 0.47g/t Pt, 0.20g/t Pd from 366.9m downhole consisting of semi-massive and matrix-style nickel sulphides, within a broader zone of: 4.8m @ 1.44% Ni and 0.09% Cu, 0.20g/t Pt, 0.09g/t Pd from 365.9m depth. This intersection confirms the prospectivity of the West Channel position that has received little attention in the past with most historic drilling concentrated on the Binti Gossan Main Zone 1km to the north. Although nickel sulphide has previously been intersected below the outcropping Binti Gossan, it consists of mainly remobilised stringer sulphides. To follow-up on the nickel sulphide results in AELD002, a DHEM survey was completed which defined a strong off- hole conductor directly south and below the AELD002 nickel sulphide intercept, providing a target for future drilling. AELD003 was recently drilled to a depth of 450m to test this DHEM plate. From a depth of 391.05m the following nickel sulphide zones were intersected (Figure 3, 4 and 5): 3.33m of massive, semi-massive, disseminated and matrix nickel sulphide 1.20m of massive sulphides, with visible pentlandite (nickel sulphide), chalcopyrite (copper sulphide), pyrrhotite and pyrite (iron sulphides). 1.55m of disseminated and matrix sulphides with some minor zones of massive sulphides. Visible sulphides include pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite.0.20m of massive sulphides, with visible pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. 0.38m of mixed matrix and disseminated sulphides with visible pentlandite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and pyrite. The massive and semi-massive sulphides are of similar high grades (based on handheld XRF Niton results) to other previously reported intercepts in the Emu Lake area, with laboratory assays required to quantify the results, which will be reported once available. Following on from the above zone of massive nickel sulphide, there is a 0.52m zone of barren intermediate volcaniclastic, followed by a further 37m of disseminated 1% to 2%, sulphide to a depth of 431.90m, within an ultramafic unit. Assay results are required to determine the nickel sulphide prospectivity of this wide low grade zone. The host volcanic sequence is interpreted to be over-turned, hence the massive sulphide being intersected before the disseminated sulphides.
