Dear Sir
Strong Extensional Nickel Results at Blair Deeps
Australian Mines Limited (ASX: AUZ) is pleased to announce the successful results from its recent underground diamond drilling programme at Blair Nickel Mine, located 30 km South East of Kalgoorlie in West Australia.
An extensional diamond drilling programme of 5 holes was recently drilled to provide information below the deepest workings at the Blair Mine.
The results are very promising, with the 2 holes intersecting E shoot approximately at 425RL (25 metres below current workings) indicating significant nickel mineralisation continues with depth.
The results include: -
Tabulated below are significant intersections from the first 2 holes of the March 2006 underground diamond drilling program:
The March drilling programme has successfully confirmed good quality ore on the E Shoot below current workings, which supports continued decline development on the Blair Deeps. Decline development is now proposed to the 430mRL.
Two intersections of potentially economic ore were recorded in the ultramafic hangingwall in hole AMUG 167, and these will be interpreted when all of the assays from the 5 hole programme are returned.
Yours faithfully
AUSTRALIAN MINES LIMITED
