LATEST ASX ANNOUNCEMENTS


“Our ongoing review of the Norseman Project has delivered results with the recognition of the outstanding prospectivity for palladium in the region. The existing drill results demonstrate the quality of the project and have provided the basis for a new understanding of the mineralising processes. This has led to the development of robust drill targets with the potential for a significant palladium discovery. We will be aggressively pursuing this exceptional opportunity in conjunction with our search for nickel sulphide deposits at the Fraser Range which includes upcoming diamond drilling at the Delta Blues prospect.”
