Mineweb reports that Breakaway Resources (ASX:BRW) recent diamond drilling programme at its Washington nickel mine has returned positive results.

The press release is quoted as saying,

At 19 Mile North, which lies at the northern end of the  Miranda Project, drilling has confirmed the presence of highly prospective high MgO ultramafics, which is significant given that the majority of the known nickel sulphide deposits within the Leinster District are intimately associated with the same high MgO ultramafic rock types.
