News Articles for Conico

Horizon Minerals has established a hefty gold-silver resource after completing a merger with Greenstone Resources, covering the new entity's entire holdings in Western Australia's Goldfields region. The company says it now boasts a resource inventory of 1.8 million ounces of gold and 20 million ounces of silver and is now poised to generate accelerated cash flow from multiple gold deposits near Kalgoorlie.

After some unforeseen hiccups, Conico is now charging towards completion of a scoping study, which it says will now include new project optimisations aimed at enhancing economics at its Mt Thirsty project. While high workflow levels for key consultants slowed the study process, it expects it to be finished next month, with an updated mineral resource also on the way.

Conico Limited has revealed more shallow high-grade nickel-cobalt-manganese-scandium results from its Mt Thirsty JV near Norseman. Results include 29m grading 0.09 per cent cobalt, 0.62 per cent nickel, 0.73 per cent manganese and 33.2g/t scandium from surface. The resource is 66.2 million tonnes grading 0.06 per cent cobalt, 0.43 per cent nickel and 0.45 per cent manganese, with the project's scoping study due in July.

Conico Limited has revealed a 146 per cent mineral resource jump at its Mt Thirsty nickel-cobalt project near Norseman, surging to 66.2 million tonnes at 0.06 per cent cobalt, 0.43 per cent and 0.45 per cent manganese. The company says its deposit hosts the second-highest cobalt-nickel ratio for similar predevelopment projects in Australia and is uniquely positioned to potentially produce precursor cathode active material.

Conico is set to feed more thick high-grade nickel-cobalt-manganese-scandium hits into an imminent updated mineral resource estimate on its Mt Thirsty nickel-cobalt project near Norseman. Recent drilling has pulled up a clutch of significant hits including 10m running at 0.09 per cent cobalt, 0.71 per cent nickel, 0.38 per cent manganese and 23 grams per tonne scandium.

Conico expects to transform the economics at its Mt Thirsty cobalt-nickel project near Norseman in WA by adding high-pressure acid leaching and a lithium-ion battery cathode precursor plant in an updated scoping study. The company also plans to reveal an updated mineral resource estimate ahead of an initial public offering to come later this year.

Conico's 50:50 joint venture with Greenstone Resources at the Mt Thirsty project in WA is proving a successful collaboration with the recent Phase 1 drill campaign returning the sixth best cobalt intercept in Australia for 2022 that included previously unreported scandium. Drilling has revealed three discrete mineralised zones; an upper nickel-cobalt-manganese-scandium horizon, a middle platinum group enriched horizon and a lower nickel horizon.

Assay results received by Greenland-focused Conico Limited from its 100 per cent owned Mestersvig project have confirmed the quartz veins in the Blyklippen-Sortebjerg, Holberg, and Nuldal faults all host high-grade lead, zinc and silver mineralisation. The results are from a 10-hole diamond drill campaign that targeted vein-hosted zinc-lead-copper-silver mineralisation adjacent to the Blyklippen Mine and 20 rock chip samples taken during 2022 fieldwork.

Conico has logged zinc, lead and copper sulphides from a 10-hole diamond drill campaign at its Mestersvig project in Greenland consistent with the historic Blyklippen zinc-lead mine at the site. Eight of the 10 holes completed intercepted disseminated, heavily disseminated or matrix sulphides during the program that was testing for extensions to the known mineralised vein system identified at the Blyklippen and Sortebjerg prospects about 13km along strike from one another.

Multi-metal explorer Conico has detected copper sulphide mineralisation at a number of prospects explored as part of a recently completed diamond drill campaign at its Ryberg project in Greenland. The 11-hole program was targeting copper, nickel, gold and platinum group elements at the company's Sortekap, Miki, Cascata and Pyramid prospects that were identified from previous field campaign data.

Conico has struck heavily disseminated and semi-massive sulphides in four more drill holes at the company's 50-50 owned Mt Thirsty joint venture with Greenstone Resources less than 200m south from Galileo Mining's newfound Callisto deposit. Five diamond drill holes for 1650m are now complete as part of an ongoing phase I drill campaign testing for extensions to the recent palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel discovery 16km north-west of Norseman in WA.

The share price of mineral explorer Conico spiked 31 per cent during intraday trading this afternoon on the back of news of a 65m intercept of disseminated sulphides at its Mt Thirsty joint venture just 400m south of ASX-listed Galileo Mining's recent Callisto discovery near Norseman in WA. With the assays expected within six weeks, there is a sense Conico and JV partner Greenstone Resources could have bagged an attractive extension.

Conico is set to spin the rods this week on a 5800m drilling probe at its Mt Thirsty multi-metal project as it seeks to extend Galileo Mining's major discovery at Callisto that sits only 200m from its fence line. Conico is keen to test the underexplored mineralised horizon on its patch of dirt that has recently delivered a slew of head turning results for its neighbour, only 16km from Norseman in Western Australia.

Conico has kicked off another round of drilling at its Ryberg project in Greenland, targeting platinum group elements and gold at the company's Cascata site and multi-metals at its Sortekap prospect. Drilling is also about to start at Mestersvig, Conico's other Greenland project, with all personnel and equipment on site. Field investigations at several new Ryberg prospects are also at the planning stage having been identified from aero-magnetic surveys completed last year.

After a major metal discovery only 200m from its fence line, junior explorer Conico will embark on a 5000m diamond and RC drilling program at the company's Mt Thirsty project in search of platinum group metals and lithium. With all relevant approvals in order and target generation nearing completion, the maiden program, 16km north-north-west of Norseman in WA, is set to kick off early next month.

Conico is ready to kick off drilling at its Ryberg copper-nickel and platinum group project in east Greenland as it follows up high-grade gold hits it reported in April. It expects a second crew to spin the bit at its Mestersvig zinc-lead-copper-silver project this month.

After a recent high-profile multi-metal discovery only 200m from its boundary, Conico Limited has quickly seized the bit by booking a multi-purpose diamond and reverse circulation drill rig for a maiden, 5000m program on its Mt Thirsty project in search of platinum group metals 16km north-northwest of Norseman in WA. The company will also kick off a geological review in the wake of its neighbour's find.

ASX-listed multi-element explorer Conico Ltd has revealed a 2000m reverse circulation drill program is planned to begin imminently at its Mt Thirsty project, following the recent spectacular PGE discovery by Galileo Mining only 200m from the northern tenement boundary held by the Mount Thirsty joint venture. A comprehensive geological review is also underway.

Conico has intersected high-grade gold in the third diamond drillhole at its Sortekap prospect in Greenland. Some of the best results include 1m at 42.81 g/t gold from only 41m downhole and 1m grading 2.58 g/t gold from 22m. Five more 1m intervals going at greater than 1 g/t were also discovered. Mineralisation is present as gold-bearing quartz veins in the Archean amphibolite that is interpreted as orogenic style.

Battery metal explorer Conico and its joint venture partner ASX-listed Greenstone Resources are relishing today's high prices for cobalt and nickel that are turbocharging the economics of the 50-50 Mt Thirsty project in Western Australia. The project aims to produce a mixed sulphide product to be consumed by the burgeoning lithium-ion battery industry.

Multi-metals exploration company, Conico Limited has finalised its maiden drill season at the Greenland Ryberg base and precious metals project with data acquisition now in progress. Drill core samples for assay are due to arrive at the lab in Spain later this week and all core trays, totalling 3480m of core, will land this week in Portugal where further analyses will be conducted by Longland, Conico's wholly owned subsidiary company.

Multi-metals exploration company, Conico Limited has wrapped up the field season at its Ryberg base and precious metals project on the east coast of Greenland with yet another sulphide intercept. The new hit at the recently discovered Cascata prospect follows several other exciting sulphide intercepts at the Miki prospect some 30 kilometres to the south-west and the Sortekap prospect about 30km to the north-west.

GBM Resources is seeking to raise $7.4 million to continue exploring for gold in Queensland's Drummond Basin, while Conico and Corazon also announced capital raisings.

Conico has discovered a new massive sulphide prospect at its Ryberg project on the east coast of Greenland. The company has wasted no time in getting the drill rods spinning and has commenced ploughing the first hole into the newly-named Cascata prospect whilst sulphide hits at its existing Sortekap and Miki prospects continue to stack up. Molybenite has also been added to the cocktail of minerals present.

Conico has hit an impressive 70 metres of magnetite in its first hole at the Sortekap prospect and racked up more sulphide intercepts at the Miki prospect within the Ryberg project in Greenland. A regional airborne geophysical survey has also been completed and the company continues to reveal a bounty of targets and plans to keep the drill rods spinning.

ASX-listed Conico has notched up a second successive round of sulphide hits as its drilling campaign motors on at the Ryberg project in Greenland. Downhole intervals of 45 metres, 32m and 27.8m of copper sulphide mineralisation have been encountered. The company believes the mineralised system is likely to be ‘fertile' at depth and is steaming ahead with further drilling and regional geophysics.

ASX-listed Conico Limited has hit more sulphides as its drilling campaign ramps up at the Ryberg project in Greenland. Matrix sulphide mineralisation was intersected over 2.9 metres from 96.8 metres in one drill hole and trace sulphides were encountered from 278 to 280 metres downhole in another. The drill rigs have started two new holes in search of a significant magnetic anomaly interpreted from a downhole survey.

ASX-listed Conico Limited saw its share price double in intra-day trading this week after the first drill hole at its 100 per cent owned Ryberg base and precious metals project in Greenland hit a 54.88m interval of significant sulphide mineralisation. Drilling is targeting three modelled electromagnetic plates said to be prospective for magmatic sulphides at the Miki prospect, where surface grab samples returned elevated copper, nickel, palladium, cobalt and gold.

At least $1.6 billion of equity has been raised by WA-linked critical minerals hopefuls in the past five years, but achieving consistent returns is another battle.
