Moho Resources kicks off RC drilling at Omrah nickel target

Drilling has commenced at the Omrah prospect targeting an EM conductor for ultramafic-hosted massive and disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation and other ultramafics in the vicinity.

Moho Resources has kicked off reverse circulation drilling at the Silver Swan North Project to test the Omrah and Wise nickel targets.

This comes after Moho (ASX:MOH) revealed three high priority exploration targets for nickel on September 29, 50km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia’s eastern Goldfields region

A review of historical geological and geophysical data identified the Omrah, Wise, and Dukes targets within 10km of Poseidon Nickel’s Black Swan nickel plant.

The Omrah prospect is host to an untested electromagnetic (EM) conductor which has been confirmed by interpretation of multiple surveys.

A 3,000m RC and diamond drilling program is planned to not only test the conductor, but also target additional ultramafic lithologies in the proximity.

The rig will then move to the nearby Wise prospect to begin a 1,200m RC drilling program to investigate magnetic anomalies associated with ultramafic rocks and anomalous historic nickel intersections.

MOH managing director Shane Sadleir said the company is looking forward to testing the EM conductor at Omrah given the potential for discovery of nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Moho announced in October that it had been awarded a grant of $150,000 under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) program by the WA Government to fund up to 50% of drilling costs associated with the RC and diamond drilling program to test the Omrah nickel prospect.
