Blackstone's maiden drill hole at Ban Chang (ASX 17/06/20) delivered the high-grade result of: BC20-01 5.2m at 0.66% Ni, 0.73% Cu, 0.04% Co & 0.79g/t PGE2 from 58.0m; 1.5m at 2.20% Ni, 2.12% Cu, 0.13% Co & 2.66g/t PGE from 58.5m and incl. 1.05m at 2.98% Ni, 1.22% Cu, 0.18% Co & 3.43g/t PGE from 58.5m. Assays are still pending for drill holes BC 20-02 (ASX 03/06/20) intersecting 1.2m of MSV and BC 20-03 (ASX 11/06/20) which intersected 4.6m of MSV and semi massive sulfide veins (SMSV). Blackstone is testing high priority EM targets generated from 25 MSV prospects in the Ta Khoa nickel sulfide district to supplement a potential bulk open pit mining scenario at Ban Phuc and the King Cobra discovery zone (KCZ), where drilling continues at depth; Blackstone is targeting MSV prospects analogous to the Ban Phuc MSV, where previous owners mined 975kt of high-grade ore at average grades of 2.4% Ni & 1.0% Cu from an average vein width of 1.3m, producing 20.7kt Ni, 10.1kt Cu and 0.67kt Co; Blackstone's drilling continues to intersect massive sulfide within metres of the modelled EM plates, confirming EM's potential to unlock the world-class magmatic nickel sulfide geology throughout the Ta Khoa nickel sulfide district; Blackstone's Scoping Study on downstream processing to produce nickel sulfate for the lithium-ion battery industry and a Ban Phuc maiden resource are on track for completion in third quarter of fiscal year 2020; Downstream processing potential supported by $6.8 million investment from EcoPro Co Limited completed in April 2020.
