钻探活动于一片硫化物异常区上进行,该区域也可能是镍、铜、金以及稀土的矿化区。

在西澳大利亚政府‘勘探奖励计划’的资金援助下,战略元素(Strategic Elements)公司对该区域钻探了两个约550米深的金刚石钻孔。

两个钻孔都是垂直的,150米运用反循环钻探法,400米运用金刚石钻探,每一个钻孔均深约550米。

根据水、物流和地下条件,钻孔预计还需几周才能完成。

该项钻探工作由DDH1钻探公司负责实施,DDH1钻探公司是澳大利亚最顶尖的钻探商之一,精通深孔定向钻探

The program is targeting an unusual anomaly for sulphide zones with potential for nickel, copper and gold as well as rare earth mineralisation.

Two deep diamond drill holes are each being drilled to an approximate depth of 550 metres with funding assistance from the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme.

Both holes are vertical with about 150 metres of reverse circulation drilling and 400 metres of diamond drilling to an approximate total depth each of 550 metres.

Drilling is expected to take several weeks depending on water, logistics and sub-surface conditions.

This work is being carried out by DDH1 Drilling, one of Australia’s leading mineral drilling contractors specialising in deep hole directional drilling services.
