East Kambalda Project

The East Kambalda project contains the Aztec Dome nickel and gold prospect.

Work completed on the Aztec Dome prospect indicates that the dome has the potential to be a repeat of the Kambalda Dome, with its associated high grade nickel deposits, located 12 kms to the south-west.

Exploration programs undertaken to date include: a review of previous data, geological mapping, magnetic, gravity and orientation and detailed EM/IP surveys. The Aztec Dome has similar rock types and geological succession to the Kambalda Dome and similar geophysical responses. Deep drilling is limited, but has intersected broad zones of sulphides (up to 40m wide) with nickel values up to 0.3% Ni. The prospective ultramafic horizon does not outcrop and as a result there has been little previous work undertaken over the prospect area. IP and more recently fixed loop EM surveys have been completed over selected areas. Two EM anomalies have been defined on the eastern edge of the Aztec Dome.
