Mt Thirsty South Project

Introduction

Mt Thirsty South cobalt-nickel-manganese project is located approximately 20km NNW of Norseman, Western Australia. Pioneer holds a 100% interest in the project.

The Mt Thirsty South Project comprises a single exploration licence application with an area of 114km².

Pioneer has flown a low-level, detailed aeromagnetic survey of the area which shows the various facies of the Mt Thirsty ultramafic sequence; and field checking by Pioneer's geologists has been completed. A 3km long demagnetised zone, highlighted on the accompanying figure, is interpreted as the pervasively weathered extension of the olivine cumulate-textured peridotite which hosts the MTJV's deposit.
