There is an early suggestion that the mineralising system could potentially be a Cu, Ni, Co target, however further work is required to confirm this concept.\n \n \n \n · \n Future work planned at Otway will include soil sampling to determine the extent of the mineralisation away from the mapped rock outcrops.\n \n \n \n The following link provides a map showing the location of each of the prospects in relation to the Plateau Gold Deposit. \n \n \n http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/0945U_1-2021-3-31.pdf\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n David Price, Chief Executive Officer of Rockfire, commented:\n \n \n \n \"The receipt of multiple, highly encouraging rock sample results from Bell Rock, including one sampl...
