Metal Hawk Limited (ASX: MHK) has begun a diamond drilling programme at the Berehaven Nickel Project, 20km south-east of Kalgoorlie in the West Australian goldfields. Systematic exploration has continued at Berehaven since the company discovered high grade nickel sulphide in September 2021 at the Commodore prospect, located five kilometres north of the Blair Nickel Mine (which produced 1.26Mt @ 2.62% Ni for 32,900 tonnes of contained nickel).

Diamond drilling has commenced at the Torana Prospect, located about 1.5km north and along strike from Commodore, targeting a strong late-time off-hole DHEM (downhole electromagnetic) conductor. The modelled west-dipping plate is positioned from about 300m below surface and sits beneath a package of mineralised high-MgO ultramafic rocks.

As we progress our systematic search for nickel sulphides at Berehaven, with deeper drilling we are gaining a better understanding of the mineralised system beneath the zone of extensive weathering,” Managing Director Will Belbin, said.

“This is the first diamond drillhole at Torana and is testing a compelling DHEM massive nickel sulphide target.”
