Highest-Ever Nickel Grades At Quicksilver

Spectacular Intersections of 28m at 2.34% Nickel & 0.109% Cobalt within the Resource Outline including intercepts of up to 4.14% Ni and 0.421% Co

Golden Mile Resources Limited (“Golden Mile”; “the Company”; ASX: “G88”) is pleased to announce that PQ diamond drilling for Stage 3 Metallurgical testwork on the 100% owned Quicksilver Nickel- Cobalt deposit “Quicksilver” has intersected very wide zones of high-grade nickel mineralisation within the existing Resource.


Highlights

  • 23QDD008: 49m at 1.74% nickel (Ni), 0.071% cobalt (Co) from 30m
    • Including 28m at 2.34% Ni & 0.109% Co from 32m depth, with intercepts up to 4.14% Ni and 0.421% Co; and
    • 5m @ 1.6% Ni & 0.026% Co from 73m depth

Other significant intersections include:

    • 23QDD006: 61m @ 0.61% Ni from 20m depth, including 1m @ 1.22% Ni from 77m depth
    • 23QDD002: 47m @ 0.74% Ni from 18m depth, including 3m @ 1.15% Ni from 54m depth
    • 23QDD007: 29m @ 0.65% Ni from 20m depth, including 1m @ 1.25% Ni from 36m depth
    • 23QDD003: 13m @ 0.76% Ni from 21m depth, including 1m @ 1.53% Ni from 23m depth
    • 23QDD001: 4m @ 1.5% Ni from 29m depth
  • Potential for direct transportation and shipping of high-grade zones of the orebody without beneficiation
  • High-grade cobalt in 23QDD008 exhibits good nickel-cobalt ratios (~10:1)
  • High-grade nickel and cobalt in the oxide zone might be an indication of potential disseminated nickel mineralisation within the untested primary zone
  • Hole 23QDD008 encountered the highest grade nickel and cobalt so far at Quicksilver

Golden Mile’s Managing Director Damon Dormer said “These are spectacular intersections and the highest nickel grade we have ever encountered at Quicksilver. The results indicate that we have a significantly higher-grade zone within the overall Resource with the potential of disseminated nickel mineralisation within the untested primary zone. This may provide an opportunity for direct transportation and shipping of high-grade zones of the orebody to provide early cash flow while constructing the beneficiation plant and accelerating project timelines.”

Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project

The Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project (“the project”; “Quicksilver”) is located near the town of Lake Grace (approximately 300km SE of Perth) on privately owned farmland in an area with excellent local infrastructure. The project is an oxide clay hosted Nickel-Cobalt deposit with an Indicated and Inferred Resource of 1:

cut-off grade >0.5% Ni or >0.05% Co

Further to the defined Resource, Quicksilver has confirmed mineralisation of Rare Earth Elements2 (REE’s) and significant high-grade Scandium3 (Sc) within the Resource envelope.

Metallurgical Diamond Drill Programme

The metallurgical diamond drilling programme4 was conducted to deliver a bulk sample for the Stage 3 metallurgical testwork programme. The drilling programme resulted in a total of 8 holes for 548.9m of PQ size diamond core. The PQ size was selected to deliver the highest quality and most representative sample of the orebody as well as maximise the mass for the Stage 3 metallurgical testwork programme.

Assay Results

The priority 1 assays from the diamond drill programme have returned wide zones of nickel mineralisation, including high-grade nickel and cobalt, hosted within the upper and lower saprolite oxide zones. The best nickel results from the Metallurgical PQ Diamond Drilling are shown in Table 1 with the positioning of the holes relative to the resource outline in Figure 1.

Nickel Price Update: Q3 2024 in Review

Nickel saw solid price momentum in the first half of the year, benefiting from investor sentiment and speculation across commodity markets that saw surge in prices for both precious and base metals.

However, price highs were short-lived as nickel supply and demand fundamentals provided pressures that saw steep declines.

Among the influences has been a supply of laterite nickel flooding the market out of Indonesia, which is a contributing factor to mine curtailments in New Caledonia, Australia, and Europe. Meanwhile, high demand for battery production in China has yet to reach levels to make up for the oversupply in the market.
