Estrella Resources Ltd (ASX:ESR) is a Perth based, metals exploration company. It has 100% stakes in the Munda nickel and gold project and Spargoville nickel project.
The company provided an update on its Carr Boyd Nickel Project (CBNP), which consist of the Carr Boyd layered Complex (CBLC) on 9 May 2019. ESR has submitted a request through the DMIRS (Department of Mines, Industry regulation and safety), during March 2019 Programme of Workâs. The request was to drill the high priority Target 5 EM anomaly, generated by Phase II moving loop HPEM in late 2018. The company has finally received the necessary approvals, from DMIRS. As a result, the field site work preparations are being processed.
ESR has carried on drilling and service contracts to begin the drilling and management works, of the testing of target 5 during the period of the present quarter. The target from geophysical and geological perspectives contains a relative mid-high conductivity and identification of nickel sulphides, identified through exploration drilling work, around 100m southwards of the aimed region.
There are various other high priority exploration targets and prospects in this area, which are based on surface geochemistry, downhole geochemistry, aero-magnetics, ground gravity, and interpreted geology datasets. The two major targets defined by the HPEM are Target 5 and Target A. These two targets indicate towards an ample presence of well-developed sulphides. The Target is a 450m long zone, rich in nickel and copper mineralisation. It is situated 100m south of the newly defined EM conductor.
