The segment of Rooster Talk Episode 70 is with Karyn Parker, Senior Exploration Geologist of Poseidon Nickel Limited (ASX: POS).
In the video, Karyn tells us about the prospectivity of the Lake Johnson project. Karyn describes in detail the process in which exploration will be conducted to reveal the prospectivity of the project.
This is an insight into what the team at Poseidon is doing in shaping up the projhect for a long life mine.
Karyn had considerable responsibility for submitting a highly contested Government Grant application for funding a drilling program at their Lake Johnston site. The Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) Grant was successfully awarded to Poseidon and will be used for meeting the costs of the proposed 15,000m drilling program.
The drilling is expected to get underway in early April and will test the highly prospective and underexplored Western Ultramafic Unit for new nickel sulphides. The proposed program aims to delineate and vector towards channel features along the basal contact of the Western Ultramafic Unit, the prime geological setting where nickel sulphides can accumulate.
Karyn is very excited about commencing drilling at Lake Johnston where she will also be looking at opportunities to explore for lithium. Additionally, Karyn will be planning further investigative testing at both the Black Swan and the Windarra sites.
