Charger Metals Commences Drilling at Coates Project
THE DRILL SERGEANT: Charger Metals (ASX: CHR) reported it has diamond drilling underway to test geochemistry and geophysical targets, which it believes may represent nickel, copper and PGE mineralisation at the Coates nickel-copper-cobalt-gold-PGE project outside Perth in Western Australia.
Charger metals keenness to get out drilling the Coates project has everything to do with the project containing a mafic intrusive complex within the Jimperding Metamorphic Belt, which also hosts the Julimar – Gonneville nickel-copper-PGE project owned by Chalice Mining (ASX: CHN) that sits practically next door.
The company has commenced drilling of five diamond drill holes designed to test the upper levels of a T1 geophysical target and extensions highlighted by recently conducted regolith geochemistry testing.
“We are very pleased to get the company’s maiden drilling campaign underway at the Coates project which will test a compelling nickel-copper-PGE target,” Charger Metals managing director David Crook said in the company’s ASX announcement.
“When we combine the interpretation provided by our geophysical consultant of the completed fixed-loop electromagnetic survey with our existing geochemical data, we have produced an outstanding drill target in the emerging Western Yilgarn PGE and nickel province.”
