NickelSearch (ASX:NIS) is topping the winners list this morning after announcing sulphide mineralisation has been intersected in both the Upper Mineralised Horizon (UMH) and Lower Mineralised Horizon (LMH) in two diamond drillholes at the Sexton Prospect.

Multiple sulphide intersections previously reported over a 9.85m interval in diamond drill hole 23NRD028.

“Diamond drill hole 23NDD030 intersected massive sulphides in the same horizon, which demonstrates the nickel mineralisation continues 60m further along strike, extending the total strike length to 250m,” NIS said.

Assays from the two Sexton diamond holes are expected in early August, and follow-up downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys are now planned for these diamond holes to further test the extent of the sulphide mineralisation, which the company said exhibits a strong DHEM anomaly response.

Also on the winners list is Heavy Rare Earths (ASX:HRE) after announcing a metallurgical program has delivered two-fold grade increase and up to 91.3% extraction of magnet rare earths, at its 100% Cowalinya project in the WA REE hotspot of  Norseman-Esperance.

HRE said sizing work indicates simple, low-cost screening capable of delivering two-fold increase in rare earths grade with diagnostic leaching test work producing very high extractions of magnet rare earths, as high as 91.3%.

High extractions were achieved with low acid consumption. A program is underway to develop downstream flowsheet to a Mixed Rare Earth Carbonate (MREC) product and generate samples for customer assessment.
