Mt Windarra Nickel Project Geological Setting (Enlarge) |
|
Gryphon Minerals’ 100% owned Mount Windarra Project is located only a few hundred metres from Poseidon NL’s, famous Mount Windarra nickel discovery of the late 1960s. The Project area covers over 550 square kilometres of the Laverton region.
In close proximity to the Mt Windarra nickel mine Gryphon's project area contains ultramafic units interpreted to be the basal Mount Windarra ultramafic unit that hosts the Mount Windarra, South Windarra and Woodline Well nickel deposits.
These deposits produced in excess of 85,000 Tonnes of nickel.
Initial reconnaissance RAB drilling by Gryphon Minerals intersected anomalous nickel values up to 15 metres @ 0.53% nickel associated with the ultramafic unit. Detailed ground electro-magnetics (EM) identified three high priority targets which drill testing revealed broad zones of disseminated sulphides (though sub economic) in each of the three holes.
Reconnaissance Air-core drilling to the north of Gryphon’s original discovery zone intersected further ultramafic rock types, which now increases the strike length of the prospective basal unit to three kilometres.
With the tripling of the prospective basal ultramafic sequence and the discovery of broad zones of disseminated sulphides in relatively close proximity to the historic Mount Windarra nickel mine, Gryphon Minerals is encouraged by the potential to discover economic nickel sulphide mineralisation within the project area.
