Australian miner Widgie Nickel has made a nickel discovery south of Gillett within its Mt Edwards project in Western Australia, Kallanish notes.
Gillett forms part of the Widgie South project area -- a key component of the Mt Edwards project pipeline, currently containing combined resources of 71,800 tonnes of nickel.
Widgie Nickel sees further upside potential from the project as mineralisation remains open to the north and south of Gillett, in addition to a largely untested 1-kilometre corridor between Gillett and Widgie Townsite further to the north.
Company’s managing director Steve Norregaard says drilling at Widgie South continues to pay dividends with further great results both within the existing resource shape and outside.
“The latest results complement our previous results at Gillett announced in early April and mid-February reaffirming grade continuity within the current deposit and upside potential,” he says. Particularly, hole 23MERCD017 represents a very significant intercept, well beyond the southernmost drilling at Gillett to date, he adds.
Drilling at Widgie South is set to continue for the remainder of H1 2023 as the company further expands, refines and defines the limits to the mineralisation. Such information will be used in feasibility studies to show the value of this “very significant asset” in H2.
