Boxwork cellular textured massive limonite gossan, derived from weathering of massive Nickel Sulphide, Heron Acra Prospect, Kalpini Project. The presence of this particular rock type and disseminated Nickel Sulphides in previous drilling was one of the driving forces for Heron moving towards Nickel Sulphide exploration at the Kalpini Project.

Gary Doutch from Deep Mining is a specialist Nickel Laterite driller. “The Goongarrie Laterite is so predictable, you know exactly what each hole is going to do. On other laterite projects, whether you have high grade ore to 20m or hard barren rock at 2m is anyone’s guess. One thing though, no laterite goes to 160m like Goongarrie does, it’s unbelievable” (Annual Report 2002, p.10)

Calweld wide diameter drilling was carried out at the Goongarrie Nickel Project to obtain bulk samples for density determinations and for metallurgical test work. The bulk samples confirmed that the run-of-mine Goongarrie Goethite Ore is homogenous and shows excellent materials handling properties. Penetration rate for the Calweld drilling was fast, suggesting Goongarrie Goethite will be free-digging. (Annual Report 2001, p.5)
