Buxton has a diverse minerals exploration portfolio, and is on the hunt for nickel, copper, gold, iron and graphite across various Aussie tenements. Today\u2019s news, though, is all about nickel sulphides \u2013 of the high-grade variety.<\/p>\n
The small (but well formed) explorer revealed this morning that assay results returned from the first diamond drill hole at its Dogleg Ni-Cu-Co prospect at its (JV with IGO (ASX:IGO)<\/strong><\/a>) West Kimberley project in WA have confirmed the following:<\/p>\n High-grade nickel sulphides with 13.85m (true width 13.24 m) at 4.35% Ni, 0.34% Cu, 0.15% Co from 177.34m, including 5.86m (true width 5.60m) at 7.47% Ni, 0.31% Cu, 0.25% Co from 179.08m.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re not a mining stats nut, then just take on board the words \u201chigh\u201d and \u201cgrade\u201d, along with \u201cnickel sulphides\u201d and then consider whether you believe in the long-term future of the electric vehicle market narrative into which this resource (once it\u2019s converted to nickel sulphate) plays heavily.<\/p>\n @BuxtonResources<\/a> #ASXNews<\/a> <\/p>\n High-Grade #Nickel<\/a> Sulphides @ #Dogleg<\/a> #Ni<\/a>\u2013#Cu<\/a>\u2013#Co<\/a> Prospect at West Kimberley JV with $IGO<\/a> <\/p>\n : https:\/\/t.co\/Qt1d85suiA<\/a>$BUX<\/a> <\/p>\n See highlights pic.twitter.com\/y512byz3C0<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Buxton Resources Ltd (@BuxtonResources) November 5, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n The company also notes that a downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) survey completed on hole\u00a0 23WKDD004 shows \u201cstrong in-hole response\u201d, which is always nice.

It\u2019s up on the news its Pilbara-based Tabba Tabba lithium project near Port Hedland has delivered\u00a0more exceptional results.<\/p>\n New assay results from the Leia pegmatite in the project\u2019s Central Cluster have revealed Wildcat has hit 180m at 1.1% Li2O from 206m, adding further gravitas and proof that the company has a Tier-1 deposit under its boots.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve hit \ud835\udfed\ud835\udff4\ud835\udfec\ud835\uddfa @ \ud835\udfed.\ud835\udfed% \ud835\udddf\ud835\uddf6\ud835\udfee\ud835\udde2 at Leia Pegmatite in latest results from our Tabba Tabba #Lithium<\/a> Project, WA, confirming it as a Tier-1 lithium deposit.
