Enegex (ASX:ENX) announces it has completed a mapping, sampling, and reconnaissance exploration campaign over its East Kimberley Hart Project .
Located along the eastern margin of the Kimberley Basin, Western Australia, the Hart Project area is considered ‘highly prospective’ for magmatic Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (Ni-Cu-PGE) and Vanadium-Titanium (V-Ti) deposits with the area hosting a large unexplored, layered mafic intrusive complex.
Addressing the exploration campaign, Enegex Director Rae Clark commented: “We are pleased to have completed our first field campaign at our Hart project in the Kimberley and are excited by the identification of a strongly magnetic dolerite sill that is analogous to the prospective horizon at the Speewah Dome deposit directly to the north of our project.
“We eagerly await the results from this campaign so that we can plan and execute follow-up exploration programs to quickly advance the project”
We eagerly await the results from this campaign so that we can plan and execute follow-up exploration programs to quickly advance the project. The new data generated from this year’s activities will be used to refine and develop our exploration models to prioritise targets for testing in the next field season.”
The Hart Project consists of 2 contiguous tenements that cover an area of 724km-square. Enegex’s northern tenement (E80/5354) was granted in November 2020 and the southern tenement (E80/5355) is under application.
The project is located 12km to the southwest of the King River Resources, Speewah Project, 322 million tonne V-Ti-Fe resource.
Enegex notes that the resource is hosted by a gabbro horizon containing disseminated magnetite within the Hart Dolerite layered intrusive suite of rocks. This same suite of rocks occurs throughout the Enegex tenements.
Results from the 2022 initial reconnaissance and sampling program will guide assessment of the prospectivity of the intrusion sequence across the Hart project area and future activities.
Laboratory assay results from rock samples are anticipated within 5-6 weeks and include analysis of a suite of 53 elements. Petrographic analysis is anticipated to be completed within a similar timeframe.
Once received, data will be used to assess the prospectivity and to refine and update the exploration model and to prioritise target areas for further work at the commencement of the next dry season.
