Exploration at the Project dates back to the 1950s and has consisted of multiple drilling programmes, including diamond drilling, wacker holes and ground penetrating radar activities. Project activity of late has focused on maintaining commitments for the exploration licence, including site-based activities such as maintenance of the existing infrastructure and equipment, so as to facilitate a ready state for future exploration and development which is likely to be focused on a potential direct shipping ore operation.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Lithology Type\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Classification\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Million\n \n \n Tonnes\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ni%\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Co%\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thousand Tonnes contained Ni\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thousand Tonnes Contained Co\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Limonite/Saprolite\n \n \n \n \n \n Indicated\n \n \n \n \n \n 63\n \n \n \n \n 0.85\n \n \n \n \n 0.08\n \n \n \n \n 540\n \n \n \n \n 50\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Inferred\n \n \n \n \n \n 9\n \n \n \n \n 0.84\n \n \n ...
