Buxton Resources (ASX:BUX) has released an update for its nickel-copper-cobalt Merlin project located in the West Kimberley region of Western Australia.

As quoted in the press release:

Final Gravity and MLTEM processed data and images have recently been received by Buxton from the surveys commenced 4 weeks ago. Importantly, these data show a significant gravity high located centrally within the core of the Merlin prospect in addition to new and known EM anomalies. These two data sets show a strong correlation between EM plates known to be associated with magmatic nickel-copper sulfides and high-density rocks. The largest and strongest gravity high is believed to sit below the detection limit of surface EM, gravity inversion modelling is in progress to define the depth and morphology of this central gravity high.

As highlighted in the press release:

  • Large gravity high defined in central core of Merlin Prospect
  • Possible source/conduit (feeder)
  • Multiple EM plates identified or extended
  • All EM plates coincident with gravity highs
  • Multiple EM conductors open and unconstrained at depth
  • All conductors associated with nickel-copper sulfides
  • Majority of EM plates plunging towards untested gravity high
  • Drilling to commence in July
