Strong Interest in IMX's Ntaka Hill Nickel Project
![Strong Interest in IMX's Ntaka Hill Nickel Project](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
The continuing appreciation in the nickel metal price has brought international attention to undeveloped deposits, particularly sulphide style mineralisation such as Ntaka Hill. Accordingly, the Company has opened a data room on the project with strong interest already received from a number of parties.
The Ntaka Hill Project hosts a current Measured and Indicated Resource of 20.3Mt at 0.58 per cent nickel and 0.13 per cent copper for 117,880 tonnes of contained nickel. The Inferred Resource is 35.9Mt at 0.66 per cent nickel and 0.14 per cent copper for 238,500 tonnes of contained nickel (see ASX announcement 19 August 2013). There is also exploration potential to expand the resource.
Since announcing this mineral resource estimate on 19 August 2013, IMX is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in that announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
IMX’s Acting CEO, Phil Hoskins, said the Company’s aim was to secure a transaction for Ntaka Hill to enable shareholders to benefit from the value of this asset, while enabling IMX to focus on the rapid assessment of the emerging Chilalo Graphite Project and drill testing the Kishugu gold target.
“We are very pleased with the strong interest we have received in progressing Ntaka Hill to the next stage,” he said. “The exploration that has been conducted to date indicates there is potential to establish a nickel project at Ntaka Hill, and there are numerous untested targets which suggest the Project has significant exploration upside.”
