Why has the Cassini Resources share price bounced?
This morning, Cassini Resources provided an exploration update for its Yarawindah Project. The project is located 100km northeast of Perth and is prospective for nickel, copper, cobalt and platinum group elements (PGE). It's part of an emerging new nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE province that has been validated by a recent high-grade discovery by Chalice Gold Mines Limited (ASX: CHN).
In today's release, Cassini Resources detailed encouraging sulphide intercepts at the Ovis Prospect. The first 2 drill holes of the diamond drilling program at the Ovis Prospect have been completed.
Cassini announced that "visually encouraging zones" of nickel and copper sulphides have been intersected over a 10-metre zone in YAD0020 at Ovis.
Meanwhile, a third hole is in progress to test a new electromagnetic (EM) anomaly 1km along strike to the north of Ovis.
In addition, the company has received 200m-spaced infill soil results and partly completed surface EM survey results along the Brassica NW trend.
According to the announcement, "the EM survey has defined a 90m x 65m, 1,500 siemens conductor at the XC06 anomaly".
In light of these results, the XC06 anomaly is now considered a high-priority target for immediate drill testing. Cassini intends to move the rig to XC06 following completion of the third hole later this week.
The Cassini Resources share price is sitting 4.35% higher for the day at the time of writing, with shares last changing hands at 12 cents.
