Downhole electromagnetic results defined a strong off-hole conductor at a depth of 200 metres and 50 west of a mafic intrusive body hosting thin massive nickel sulphide mineralisation (grades up to 2.86% nickel). The conductor is coincident with a gravity high indicating the possibility of sulphide mineralisation hosted in a mafic rock at depth. Ground electromagnetic surveys over the regional targets have confirmed four bedrock conductors with associated gravity highs.

Four of the five drill holes at Prospect D intersected thin intervals of massive nickel sulphide (grades up to 2.86% nickel) adjacent to a thicker zone of disseminated sulphides. The mineralisation which has a strike extent of 800 metres is localized on the western contact of a mafic intrusive body. Regionally, a time-domain electromagnetic survey over a 220 square kilometre area has identified seven bedrock conductors on and adjacent to a major gravity anomaly.
