DMC Mining Limited updated the market on exploration results for the Ravensthorpe Nickel Project (RNP). Results of recent MLEM and FLEM surveys following up the RAV 9 and RAV 11 Xcite airborne EM targets have delineated high-priority conductivity anomalies associated with what are interpreted to be buried komatiite volcanic sequences. 3 high-priority electromagnetic (EM) conductivity targets have been identified, one at RAV 9 and two at RAV 11.

The conductors are associated with magnetic anomalies and indications from surficial geology and geochemistry interpreted to represent buried komatiite lava sequences. Results from the MLEM and FLEM surveys will be followed up by diamond drilling to test the anomalies for potential nickel sulphide mineralisation as soon as permitting is in place. Vortex Geophysics were contracted to complete the ground EM surveys at the RNP.

Ground EM follow- up on Xcite airborne AEM priority anomalies RAV 9 and RAV 11 comprised: RAV 9: a single line of MLEM and three lines of FLEM oriented north-south across the Xcite EM anomaly. RAV 11: 12 lines of FLEM oriented east-west across the Xcite EM anomaly (Figure 2b). Surface geochemistry conducted over the target areas returned high values for nickel and cobalt consistent with buried ultramafic lithologies but remain inconclusive as to sulphide potential.

This is not seen as a negative as nickel sulphide systems are often closed geochemically and entirely contained within the target ultramafic host with little to no wall rock leakage or "halo" of the target metals. Unless intersected by the weathering profile, such buried sulphide systems may be geochemically blind to surface sampling and not return anomalous metal values in geochemical data. At RAV 9, initial survey design was to collect multiple inside transmitter loop, MLEM traverses over the anomaly in a north south orientation.

For technical and logistical reasons, the survey designed was converted to FLEM after the completion of line 240320e which was affected by Induced Polarisation (IP) effects. However, despite this the MLEM recorded a significant late time anomaly. Follow-up with FLEM delineated a discrete conductor beneath Line 240350e with further potential conductors apparent in the late time Channel 30 response trending towards the east.

At RAV 11, twelve lines of east-west oriented FLEM were read over the original AEM Xcite anomaly from two transmitter loops. The survey data recorded a strong anomaly with the response observable past at very late read time over multiple lines. Modelling and processing of the of FLEM survey data has defined three discrete conductors, two of which are highly conductive and represent priority 1 targets.

The third is of moderate to low conductance and isn't considered a high priority for immediate follow-up work. The best conducting anomaly (S1) correlates with the boundary of the modelled westerly dipping magnetic body interpreted to represent buried komatiite volcanics. The other good conductor (N1) appears to be slightly displaced from the modelled magnetic body.

The EM plates will be tested with diamond drilling. Planning is underway for a program of holes to test the anomalies once appropriate permitting has been completed. Borehole EM will be conducted once drilling is completed, as well as extension of the FLEM to the east of the current RAV 9 FLEM survey.

The Ravensthorpe Nickel Project (DMC 100%, EL 74/669) is located in a highly prospective geological setting for nickel sulphide deposits. The Project has at least 15km strike length of the Bandalup ultramafic rock, the target host rocks that are prospective for Kambalda-style nickel sulphide deposits. The Project is very well serviced by roads, power, and other necessary mining infrastructure.
