- Metal Hawk (MHK) begins a fresh reverse circulation drilling program at its Berehaven project, southeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia
- This round of drilling will test nickel sulphide targets identified from ground moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys carried out earlier this year
- Drilling to date has identified sulphide mineralisation to the north and south of the Commodore discovery, and MHK will now test along this western trend and to the east
- Managing Director Will Belbin says the project hosts “exciting” opportunities for nickel and gold

Metal Hawk (MHK) has begun a fresh reverse circulation drilling program at its Berehaven project, southeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia.
The new 3000-metre campaign will test nickel sulphide targets identified from ground moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys carried out earlier this year.
Earlier drilling by Metal Hawk has concentrated on the western Commodore ultramafic trend, with nickel sulphide mineralisation identified to the north and south of the Commodore discovery at the Torana and Commodore South prospects.
Metal Hawk’s new round of drilling will assess further along this western ultramafic trend, as well as four conductors further east of Commodore.
Metal Hawk’s Managing Director, Will Belbin, said the company was moving ahead with its “systematic” and “rigorous” exploration at Berehaven.
“Since the discovery of high-grade nickel at Commodore late last year, the regional work we have carried out on this project has generated several more exciting discovery opportunities for nickel and gold,” Mr Belbin said.
“Considering the proximity to nearby hits of nickel sulphide along-strike to the north at the Euston and Blair North prospects, there has been very little exploration carried out in the
vicinity of these eastern EM anomalies.
“Our consulting geophysicists at Newexco have carefully refined and prioritised these drill-ready conductors.”
