Widgie Nickel Limited has received assay results from its recent reverse circulation and diamond drilling program targeting infill of, and extensions to, the known Gillett and Gillett North nickel mineralisation systems.
Gillett is central to Widgie South, a key component of the Mt Edwards project pipeline, currently containing a combined 71,800t Ni with a significant increase expected in the updated Gillett Mineral Resource Estimate in the current half.
Managing Director, Steve Norregaard said the results continue to demonstrate the extremely fertile nature of Widgie’s tenure.
“As we round off our infill and extensional drilling programs prior to resource re-estimation we continue to be impressed with the potential of Gillett and the Widgie South trend.
“These results demonstrate ample upside for resource growth and confirm the continuity of mineralisation within the current resource.
“We remain supremely confident of the significant value potential contained within our nickel resource, and with our Widgie South Scoping Study progressing well this great news only cements the foundation for that confidence.”
Detailed structural review is ongoing, with the aim to unfold the pre-deformation mineralised system to assist with future targeting of the post deformation mineralised channels.
