OVERVIEW
During the Quarter Impact continued work on its change in strategic focus from eastern Australia to the emerging mineral province of south west Western Australia following the recent Julimar PGE-Ni-Cu discovery (ASX:CHN) and also home to the world class Greenbushes lithium-tantalum mine (Figure 1).
Impact has assembled a significant number of projects in this highly prospective region, both 100% owned, (Arkun-Beau, Dinninup, Mineral Hill and Martup) and in joint venture (Hopetoun, Jumbo, Narryer and Dalgaranga). In addition, the Company is in a joint venture at the Doonia gold project near Kambalda where drill results are awaited (Figure 1). Drill results are also awaited at Hopetoun.
Current work programmes are aimed at defining drill targets at the flagship Arkun-Beau-Jumbo area and progressing interpretations of data at Doonia and Hopetoun. The other projects are also being progressed via compilations of previous work and preliminary interpretations of the surface and bedrock geology to identify areas of interest for follow up exploration.
