Perth-based explorer Venus Metals Corporation has identified a platinum group elements and base metals anomaly during initial reconnaissance field studies at its Barrabarra North nickel-copper-PGE project in Western Australia’s West Yilgarn province.
Geochemical sampling at two high-priority targets within the project area found highly-anomalous concentrations in soil with values of 63 parts per million nickel, 46ppm copper, 13 parts per billion platinum and palladium, and 3,169ppm chromium.
The targets sit near to Chalice Mining's Barrabarra project and are based on the laterite geochemical database for the western Yilgarn Craton.
