• AMTG helicopter exploration program successfully completed with highly promising Nickel-Copper anomalism detected in sampling
• Field samples are currently in Perth for further study and assaying
• Future exploration to be accelerated as a result of positive findings in this exploration campaign
Mining exploration company, AMTG, is encouraged by the high levels of Nickel-Copper anomalism detected in soil sampling. The results are from a recently completed helicopter supported field survey undertaken at the Lansdowne Project located in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia. The project covers large areas of the Proterozoic-aged Hart Dolerite.
This study is part of AMTG’s recent efforts to continue developing a portfolio of Nickel-Copper-PGE (Platinum Group Elements) exploration assets. The Company is the holder of multiple Exploration Licence Applications in the Kimberley region which cover a combined area of 951km2. These projects are exploring the Hart for Ni-Cu-PGE\’s.
The helicopter field reconnaissance work was conducted by AMTG’s geological team, who visited numerous areas within the Lansdowne Project. They obtained approximately 240 soil sample readings using a portable XRF machine and collected 39 rock chip samples for petrology study, whole rock geochemistry and trace element analysis. These samples are currently in Perth undergoing analysis.
“This represents further good news as the Company continues to ramp up its exploration efforts,” said AMTG Director Andrew Mortimer.
“From the field work conducted, it is our belief that the project has significant merit and is worthy of further exploration. Analysis from our field team found the Harts Dolerite to be differentiated (gabbro, dolerite and granophyre observed) and portable XRF readings indicated changes in Fe, Ni and Cu throughout.
“Several areas of copper anomalism (up to 627ppm Cu) were identified and these remain open to the east and west and require further follow up work.”
AMTG plans to deliver further good news in the forthcoming weeks as they receive results from their soil sampling program at the Bald Hill project. To find out more information on AMTG, visit advancedmet.com.au or email [email protected].
