Tomkinson Range
The project is located in the West Musgrave region, WA. The primary target is nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation hosted by the layered gabbroic intrusions.
The Tomkinson Range project is located 230km east of Warburton and 1,400km northeast of Perth, close to the WA-SA border. The exploration license application 69/2782 covers an area of 430km2 over the Michael Hills and the Hinckley layered gabbro intrusions that form part of the Giles Complex, within the Musgrave Complex.
The primary target is nickel-copper sulphide and PGE mineralisation hosted by the layered gabbroic intrusions similar in style to the Babel and Nebo deposits, also within the Musgrave Complex, and the Sally Malay Deposit in the Halls Creek area of WA.
Recent Geological Survey of WA mapping has identified an ultramafic body on the eastern side of the project. The unit has been interpreted as being the feeder structure to the Michael Hills layered mafic intrusion and is prospective for nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. This interpretation is supported by historical soil and rock chip geochemistry which shows elevated copper and nickel results over this discrete geological unit.
