Heron Resources spin-off Ardea Resources has lifted contained cobalt metal resources at its Kalgoorlie Nickel Project (KNP) Cobalt Zone in Western Australia to over 83,000t from the previous 59,600t.
The upgrade follows cobalt-focused remodelling of historic data from the Goongarrie South and Big Four zones, which has lifted KNP Cobalt Zone global resources to 65.7Mt at 0.13 % cobalt and 0.79% nickel from the previous 49.7Mt at 0.12 % Co and 0.86 % Ni, including 25.3Mt at 0.14 % Co and 0.83 % Ni at Goongarrie South and 11.4Mt at 0.13% Co and 0.71% Ni at Big Four. The 2 have a 15km+ strike length of shallow, lateritic, cobalt-nickel mineralisation.
