Viridis Mining and Minerals (VMM) is advancing with work programs at the Bindoon and Boddington West projects in Western Australia.
Bindoon
The Bindoon Project consists of the Bindoon North, Bindoon Central and Bindoon South tenements and is prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group element (PGE) mineralisation.
Interpretation of aeromagnetic data has identified three possible mafic/ultramafic belts that were then subject to surface sampling.
Surface sampling has been completed with the samples submitted for geochemical assay and once received, the results will be combined into the aeromagnetic interpretation.
Boddington West
Viridis contracted Southern Geoscience Consultants to reprocess the aeromagnetic and radiometric survey data over Boddington West.
This work revealed a series of northwest-trending diorite intrusives that cross the Boddington Gold Mine and continue to Boddington West.
A systematic surface geochemistry survey has been planned to follow up the aeromagnetic and radiometric survey and will target similar laterites that aided in the discovery of the Boddington gold deposit.
Subject to weather, the survey is expected to be completed in a few weeks.
“These early exploration results are encouraging and suggest that the Boddington Trend which hosts the nearby Boddington Gold Mine may continue onto Viridis’ Boddington West tenement,” Executive Chairman Agha Shahzad Pervez commented.
Shares in Viridis were steady on the market at 27.5 cents at market close
