Ardea Resources Commences Emu Lake Nickel Sulphide Follow up Drilling

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Ardea Resources (ASX: ARL) has commenced diamond drilling at the company’s Emu Lake nickel sulphide camp outside Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The drill program of approximately 4,350m is to follow-up Ardea’s Binti South prospect high-grade massive nickel-copper-PGE sulphide discovery.

Drilling will also be undertaken at the Binti Gossan prospect one kilometre northwest of Binti South.

Other work is to include detailed DHEM surveys on all drill holes to help locate conductor plates that are typically associated with Emu Lake nickel sulphide mineralisation.

“Supported by funding from the placement ($21.5 million raised in February), the Ardea team have drawn upon their strong local relationships with key service providers and secured a core drill rig ahead of schedule to resume the nickel sulphide drilling at Emu Lake,” Ardea Resources managing director Andrew Penkethman said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“This follow-up drill program is aimed at building upon the discovery success at Binti South and will also test targets down dip and plunge of high grade mineralisation intersected in historic drilling at Binti Gossan.

“The Emu Lake nickel sulphide exploration is evolving as part of a broader Kalpini nickel story.

“It can significantly contribute to Ardea’s building of a green, forward-facing integrated nickel company servicing the lithium-ion battery supply chain with an ESG-compliant, sustainable and ethical product.”
