Nimy Resources (ASX:NIM) announces its latest drilling has intersected high grade copper, nickel, cobalt and PGE mineralisation within a broader zone of massive and semi massive sulphides.
Assays show a broad copper, nickel, cobalt and PGE mineralisation zone containing an interpreted high grade copper lens from 126m to 236m (assays are pending for drill hole 24NRDD0126). All three holes have returned grades at greater than 1% copper.

- The mineralised zone at Masson now extends along a strike of 240m with a maximum downhole width of 61.5m and has been encountered from 102m to 328m downhole and remains open down dip and along strike.
Nimy Executive Director Luke Hampson said:
Confirmation of the broad intervals of copper, nickel, cobalt and PGE’s in sulphide’s along with a high grade copper trend confirms Masson as a significant discovery. Hosted within mafic intrusive rocks, the emergence of copper at these levels particularly as Nimy drills deeper signifies a dynamic system, part of a much larger mafic intrusion.
Planning is underway to test further extensions to the Masson mineralisation including testing of coincident high magnetics and EM anomalies along the 3.1km northern strike that begins with the Masson Discovery, and the 3.8km highly magnetic unit with coincident EM anomalies southwest of the Masson Discovery”.
