Drilling Continues To Unlock Potential Scale Of Massive Nickel Sulphide District In WA

High-grade* Ni-sulphide mineralisation at Dimma extended to 160m down- dip and remains open at depth

Toro Energy Limited (ASX: TOE) (‘the Company’ or ‘Toro’) is pleased to announce that diamond drill hole TED55 has intersected ~2m of continuous massive Ni-sulphide mineralisation from 147.2m downhole at its Dimma Nickel Discovery in Western Australia.


HIGHLIGHTS

 
  • Diamond drill hole TED55 has intersected approximately 2m of continuous massive Ni- sulphide mineralisation from 147.2m downhole
  • Hand-held spot analysis by portable XRF (hh-pXRF) suggests that Ni grades within the massive Ni-sulphide range between 1.5 and 3.4% Ni*
  • TED55 intersection extends the Dimma massive Ni-sulphide mineralisation towards the surface – drilling suggests it now extends continuously from TED55 down-dip (apparent) for approximately 160m to the intersections at TED42 and TED53
  • All five drill holes completed to date at Dimma have returned massive and semi-massive Ni-sulphide mineralisation namely (approximate grades only from spot analyses of hh- pXRF - refer to cautionary statement below):
    • 14.8m zone of visible Ni-sulphides from 232.9m downhole including 3.6m of massive Ni-sulphide, potentially grading between 1.45 and 3.66% Ni from 244.1m (TED41)
    • 20.5m of visible Ni-sulphides from 296.6m downhole including 2.5m of continuous massive Ni-sulphide, potentially grading between 1.0 and 3.1% Ni from 314.7m (TED42)
    • 8.9m of visible Ni-sulphides from 327.1m downhole including 2.4m of continuous massive Ni-sulphide mineralisation from 332.4m, potentially grading between 1.4% and 5.1% Ni (TED53)
    • 39m of visible Ni-sulphides from 159m downhole including 4.5m of continuous massive Ni-sulphide, potentially grading between 1.9 and 3.1% Ni from 194.3m (TED54)
  • Dimma massive Ni-sulphide discovery remains open along strike and at depth
  • Massive Ni-sulphides in TED55 are geologically associated with the base of the Dusty Komatiite consistent with the four other drill holes at Dimma and all other intersections of massive Ni-sulphide within the Dusty Komatiite to date
  • Dimma is one of four (4) massive and semi-massive Ni-sulphide discoveries at Toro’s 100% owned Dusty Nickel Project, located in the Yandal Greenstone Belt, some 50km east of the world class Mt Keith Nickel Deposit (see Figure 3 below)
  • Only ~4km of the 7.5km long Dusty Komatiite magnetic trend has been tested to date and Toro has already discovered four (4) zones of massive or semi-massive Ni-sulphide

Management Comment

 

Commenting on the latest further massive Ni-sulphide intersection from Dimma, Toro’s Executive Chairman, Richard Homsany, said:

“TED55 is yet another exceptional drilling result for the Company and for the Dimma Ni-sulphide discovery. The Dimma discovery is shaping up to be something of potential significance, with five holes drilled and five intersections of massive and semi-massive Ni-sulphide so far intersected.

This TED55 result now suggests the Dimma massive Ni-sulphide zone extends over some 160m of continuous dip extent from 147.2m downhole in TED55 to 314.7m downhole in TED42 and it remains open at depth as well as along strike, north and south. Although we await laboratory geochemistry, the hand-held portable XRF spot analyses suggest all five intersections of massive Ni-sulphide at Dimma are high grade.

The Dusty Nickel Project has vast potential for further Ni-sulphide mineralisation with only limited testing so far completed along some 3.5km of the 7.5km long Dusty Komatiite magnetic trend. Already four zones of massive and semi-massive Ni-sulphide mineralisation have been discovered along the areas drilled at Dusty, all four of which are still open. There are still kilometres more komatiite yet to be tested further south at our Yandal One Nickel Prospect.

The Dusty Ni-sulphide discoveries are the first massive Ni-sulphide discovered in this region of the Yilgarn and are in an area that, to our knowledge, had not been drilled to fresh basement prior to Toro’s drilling.

We are enthusiastic about our exciting nickel discoveries, which are near the uranium deposits of our world-class Wiluna Uranium Project. We look forward to reporting further assays from our Dusty Nickel Project in the near-term.”

Terra Clean Energy Ramps Up Summer Drilling Plans, Eyes Resource Update

Terra Clean Energy (CSE:TCEC,OTCQB:TCEFF,FWB:C9O0) President and CEO Greg Cameron outlines the company's upcoming summer drill program at the South Falcon East uranium project, building on strong results from a winter campaign at the Fraser Lakes B deposit.

“The plan is to get up to 2,500 meters back into this new area of interest. Hopefully drill into what we're defining as an unconformity basement-hosted uranium deposit with significantly higher grade than we currently have,” he said.

“We would have the ability to update that resource report in some fashion, maybe early 2026 or mid-2026, so those are the two key catalysts. But it's all about drilling and adding pounds to the current resource and, more importantly, significantly enhancing that grade which we think we have," Cameron added.

Top 3 ASX Uranium Stocks of 2025

Uranium broke out in 2024, with the spot price rising to a 17 year high of US$106 per pound early in the year. Despite a pullback to about US$78, uranium is still more than 40 percent higher than it was two years ago.

Although the market is dealing with ample supply and uncertain demand in 2025, experts are predicting a bright future as countries around the world pursue energy security goals.

Against that backdrop, ASX-listed uranium companies have been making moves in 2025.

15 Uranium Companies Exploring Canada's Athabasca Basin

Uranium market watchers know that Canada’s Athabasca Basin is among the world’s richest uranium jurisdictions and hosts several of the highest-grade uranium deposits on the planet.

Spanning close to 100,000 square kilometers of the Canadian Shield of Northern Saskatchewan and Alberta, the Athabasca Basin is a major contributor to Canada’s status as the second largest uranium producer and the third largest country by uranium reserves.

Unsurprisingly, the region is home to the world’s largest uranium mine, Cigar Lake. The mine reports average grades of 14.69 percent U3O8 and accounts for 14 percent of global uranium production.
