“We will continue to progress with systematically testing the approximately 16km of basal contact strike within Carr Boyd, as well as test for possible sulphide occurrences off the basal contact, such as those forming at the Carr Boyd Nickel Mine, with drilling and geophysics and I look forward to updating the market as results are received.”
