Corazon Mining (ASX:CZN) has announced the granting of Prospecting Licences and the commencement of on-ground exploration at the Miriam Nickel Sulphide Project in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.
The Miriam Project is located about 10 kilometres south-southwest of Coolgardie and is prospective for nickel, lithium and gold, and Corazon's field work will initially focus on the nickel potential via a ground electromagnetic (EM) geophysical survey.
Corazon Mining says a previous ground EM was conducted in 1999, which detected the top of the Miriam Deposit.
Modern, high-powered geophysics will be used to better test and map historically defined high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation, and surface geochemical sampling is planned to be undertaken to test for indications of lithium bearing pegmatites.
The exploration program is expected to be completed by the end of this month, with the outcome of the survey expected to be announced in February 2023.
