Aeromagnetic infill surveying was carried out over part of the Yalata Intrusive Complex, which is characterised by exhibiting an intense gravity high, contains evidence of cumulate layering, and lies in proximity to interpreted ultramafic intrusives within the Colona Fault Zone. Six geophysical targets with potential for Thompson Belt style ultramafic massive nickel sulphide mineralisation were selected for RC drilling (6 holes, total 965 m), following the conduct of detailed ground magnetic surveys. The target anomalies were accounted for by magnetic gabbro, gneiss and granite intersections.
