Parmelia prepares Dunnsville EM survey

/in /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Parmelia Resources (ASX: PML) is preparing a deep-penetrating moving-loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey to be conducted over the Southern and Northern high-priority nickel-sulphide exploration targets at the Dunnsville nickel prospect.

The Dunnsville prospect is located within the company’s Jaurdi Hills project, 50 kilometres north-west of Coolgardie in Western Australia.

The company has engaged Gap Geophysics to conduct the survey, which it anticipates will commence in three to four weeks’ time and take two to three weeks to complete.

Parmelia explained the survey will be carried out using a high-power Gap GeoPak MLTX-200 transmitter generating a current of approximately 140 amps through a 200 metre by 200 metre transmitter loop, a SMARTem24 receiver and an EMIT three-component Fluxgate receiver sensor.

Line spacing will be 200m closing to 100m in proximity to the Southern Target GEOTEM anomaly and along-line receiver station spacing will be 50m for all lines. Gap’s ‘deep-looking’, high-sensitivity SAMSON receiver may also be used for a portion of the survey if warranted.
 
“The program will commence at the Southern Target followed by the Northern Target with consideration given to testing for conductivity responses at the other priority targets identified along the Jaurdi Hills Ultramafic Belt depending on exploration success at the high priority targets,” Parmelia Resources said in its ASX announcement.

“In addition, planning and permitting (including POW applications), is well advanced to allow immediate drill-testing of prospective bedrock conductivity targets identified by the EM survey.

“These approvals are expected to be received in two to three weeks’ time.

“Drilling program details will be announced once planning is finalised and government approvals have been received.”
