Lunnon Metal’ (LM8) Warren diamond hole has returned assays of up to 8.72 metres of 3.54 per cent nickel from 353 metres, at its Kimbalda Nickel Project near Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.

The intersection also recorded 2.3 metres of 4.4 per cent nickel from 359.4 metres.

The company also notes elevated platinum and palladium assays were recorded for the same intersection, with assays of 0.64 g/t platinum and 1.43 g/t palladium. True widths are estimated to be approximately 90 per cent of the drilled length.

According to the company, tenor of these results at Warren is excellent while the DHTEM plate gives it encouragement for follow-up drilling.

The company says historical documentation referred to the area as a barren flanking zone between more deeply incised nickel pods. That theory has now been disproved, as the company considers the mineralisation to be an entirely new pod, or potentially link with the mineral resource defined up and down plunge.

The DHTEM modelled plate will now be targeted by “daughter” holes to be wedged off this parent hole.

Shares were up 8.7 per cent, trading at 50 cents at 12.22 pm AEDT.
