Independence Group reported in the quarter ended Mar31/09, soil geochemical sampling and gravity surveying has delineated 10 Ni-Cu-PGE anomalous target areas. A program of TEM to detect massive sulphide mineralisation associated with geochemical/gravity anomalies has been planned but will not commence until weather conditions are suited to TEM surveying.
Regional soil geochemical sampling has returned peak assay results up to 522 parts per million nickel, 240 parts per million copper and 20 parts per billion platinum plus palladium.
