Estrella Resources has announced an upgrade of the nickel resource estimate at its Spargoville project's 5A deposit, 20km south-west of Kambalda, with most of the resource now in the more confident “measured” category. Estrella is pressing ahead with optimisation work for a definitive feasibility study and is focused on 16 000 tonnes of massive sulphide grading 7.8 per cent nickel below 5A's existing open pit.

Estrella Resources has received positive assay results showing multiple nickel intersections at the company's T5 deposit, part of its wholly owned Carr Boyd project north-east of Kalgoorlie in WA's Goldfields. The company says the results show mineralisation plunges down and to the south with a clear opportunity at depth where the deposit remains open.

Estrella Resources has been buoyed by more positive assay results and the bonus of additional key infrastructure as the company moves towards production at its Spargoville nickel project near Kambalda in WA's Goldfields. Latest results from resource drilling below the Spargoville 5A deposit include a 6.8m hit going 4.4 per cent nickel from 66.2m including 1.76m at 10.21 per cent.

Nickel-focused Estrella Resources is becoming increasingly bullish about shifting into production after receiving further high-grade assays from resource drilling at the company's Spargoville nickel project near Kambalda in WA. Significant results from its latest diamond drilling include 3.45m going 5.46 per cent nickel from 70m, containing a high-grade 1.2m at a stunning 10.85 per cent, 11.12m at 1.68 per cent from 59m and 2.7m at 2.47 per cent from 74m.

Estrella Resources says it remains on target to kick off full-scale mining of the company's 5A resource in early 2023 after further high-grade assays at its Spargoville nickel project near Kambalda in WA. With drilling coming to an end, Estrella will now move to extract between 2000 and 4000 tonnes of material for metallurgical testing. The company says plans to calculate a revised mineral resource estimate will feed into ore reserve and pit optimisation modelling.

Estrella Resources has extended its T5 deposit by 300m south after step-out diamond drilling hit semi-massive nickel-copper sulphides. The explorer says its hole, part of the company's Carr Boyd project in WA's Goldfields region, intersects 1.8m of semi-massive to globular sulphides from 929m came within a broader 21.2m mineralised zone. Down-hole electromagnetic surveys are set to commence soon at the project.

Estrella Resources has recorded a 17m intersection of semi-massive to disseminated nickel-copper sulphides at its Broonhill deposit, part of the company's Carr Boyd nickel-copper project near Kalgoorlie, in WA. The company says results show Broonhill remains open along strike, is increasing in scale and a separate deposit to the T5 mineralisation 1.5km to the south.

Perth-based nickel explorer Estrella Resources has struck nickel-copper sulphides in the first three step-out holes drilled at its T5 prospect 80km north-east of Kalgoorlie in WA's Goldfields region.

Nickel-focused Estrella Resources continues to intersect more nickel-copper sulphides in drilling at its Carr Boyd nickel project 80km north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The company says it has hit a cumulative 17.5m of disseminated and blebby sulphides within a broader zone about 24m wide. The finding comes from 782m down a deep hole targeting below the company's T5 nickel discovery.

Estrella Resources has hooked onto more nickel sulphides at its flagship Carr Boyd nickel-copper project 80 kilometres northeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. A single diamond drill hole yielded a significant strike of 8.07m grading 4.37 per cent nickel and 0.75 per cent copper within a larger zone of 16.2m running 3.12 per cent nickel and 0.60 per cent copper from 192.35m downhole

Estrella Resources continues to unveil the prospectivity of the intrusive igneous complex at its Carr Boyd project near Kalgoorlie in WA. The company says it has discovered more nickel-copper rich sulphides on previously untested ground at the Mossgiel and Gossan Hill prospects with mineralisation showing stark similarities to the geology of its original T5 discovery.

Estrella Resources is zoning in on more nickel-copper targets at its developing T5 discovery near Kalgoorlie in WA after the company spotted a suite of down-hole geophysical anomalies begging to be drilled. The anomalies lie tantalisingly close to the T5 deposit and suggest known mineralisation is open to the north and south, throwing up a plethora of new targets that the company will now target.

Estrella Resources has delivered another set of nickel and copper sulphides at its blossoming T5 discovery located at the company's Carr Boyd project near Kalgoorlie in WA. Estrella plunged a diamond drill hole below the discovery and intercepted a brace of separate of nickel and copper sulphide zones it says confirms the continuation of nickel-copper sulphides below the Carr Boyd mine's old workings.

Nickel explorer Estrella Resources has decided to sell its nickel rights over its Spargoville project located approximately 25km west of Kambalda in WA. After receiving several unsolicited offers the company has engaged Geolithic Geological Services to handle the sale process and it is now planning to concentrate its exploration efforts on the company's flagship Carr Boyd nickel project.

Mineral explorer, Estrella Resources continues to hit nickel and copper sulphides at its enthralling T5 discovery located at its Carr Boyd project near Kalgoorlie in WA. A step-out diamond drill hole below the T5 discovery has intercepted three separate zones of nickel and copper sulphides, including a new mineralised zone where a 3m interval grading 1.76 per cent nickel and 0.66 per cent copper was returned.

Nickel explorer, Estrella Resources has intercepted 12 metres of nickel-copper sulphides on previously untested ground, some 1.4 kilometres along trend from its striking T5 nickel-copper discovery near Kalgoorlie in WA. The company says the new intercept looks strikingly similar to the T5 discovery RC hole that returned 8m at 1.11 per cent nickel and 0.36 per cent copper in 2019.

Nickel exploration company, Estrella Resources continues to deliver the goods in its nickel sulphide hunt at its compelling T5 discovery near the historical Carr Boyd Rocks nickel mine, north of Kalgoorlie in WA.

Results include 13.4 metres at 1.3 per cent nickel and 0.4 per cent copper from 392m. The company plans to test the extent of the T5 basal contact which hosts the mineralisation at T5 and Carr Boyd Rocks.

Estrella Resources' aggressive approach to revitalising the old Carr Boyd nickel mine north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia has generated positive leads from two new diamond drill holes. The company says results from the holes in its ongoing drilling of the T5 nickel-copper discovery adjacent to the former mine include a 13.75m intersection of basal-contact massive and globular nickel-copper-iron sulphides.

ASX-listed Estrella Resources has dished up a 22.85m intercept of nickel-copper sulphides above a previous hit that returned 20.1m going 1.04 per cent nickel at its T5 discovery north of Kalgoorlie in WA. Results from the current phase-three drilling campaign are due soon as the company continues to advance its geological understanding of the prospect ahead of the next stage of its exploration.

Estrella Resources says it has maintained a 100 per cent strike rate with drilling into a broad zone of sulphide-rich mineralisation at its Carr Boyd T5 nickel-copper discovery north of Kalgoorlie with a new 6.75m-thick massive nickel-copper sulphide zone hit. The intersection occurred at the base of a previously drilled 32.7m nickel-copper-iron mineralised sulphide zone.

Estrella Resources looks to be on target as it continues drilling across its T5 nickel sulphide target in WA. Latest drill results from the discovery include an impressive 12.9m sulphide intercept, which hosts several zones of semi-to-massive nickel-rich mineralisation. The new zone of sulphides forms part of the Upper T5 conductor and is located 40m south of previous drilling, extending the envelope of this exciting nickel discovery.

The hits keep coming for Estrella Resources, with drilling at its Carr Boyd nickel project continuing to intersect sulphide mineralisation. Two drill holes above the feeder zone of the T5 discovery have intersected more than 47 metres of disseminated to matrix-textured sulphides, with mineralisation including visible nickel-rich pentlandite and copper-rich chalcopyrite. Assays are not far away.

Estrella Resources says it is sizing up Great Boulder Resources' high-grade gold discovery along trend from and immediately to the south of its Carr Boyd nickel discovery north of Kalgoorlie. Estrella says its field team is weighing up the latent potential of its project area around Carr Boyd for gold after Great Boulder's stock quadrupled in the last month based on its gold discovery.

Estrella Resources is getting close to joining the dots at its revived Carr Boyd nickel project after it hit 16.35m of disseminated to highly disseminated nickel-copper sulphides 75m below one discovery and 65m above another. The upper discovery previously returned 20.1m at 1 per cent nickel and 0.7 per cent copper and the lower discovery came in at 8.05m @ 0.8 per cent nickel & 0.5 per cent copper – assays are pending.

ASX-listed nickel explorer, Estrella Resources has recently completed an “experimental” seismic survey over the major basal contact at its Carr Boyd nickel project about 80km north-north-east of Kalgoorlie. The Perth-based company described the survey as a necessary de-risking tool it says will increase the success rate of deeper drilling targeting the basal contact for nickel sulphides.

Estrella Resources is tapping into the deeper potential of its Carr Boyd nickel discovery in WA, with drilling intersecting a broad zone of sulphide mineralisation at around 590 metres down-hole. The drilling confirms the down-dip extensions to the previously intersected mineralisation, with other recent intervals including 3.7m at 1.14 per cent nickel and 0.74 per cent copper from 516.8m down-hole.

Estrella Resources has gone back-to-back at its Carr Boyd nickel discovery following up previous stellar numbers with a 20-metre thick nickel sulphide intercept from recent diamond drilling grading 1.02 per cent nickel and 0.65 per cent copper from 368.5 metres down-hole. The results also included a higher-grade core of 2.45m at 1.64 per cent nickel and 1.97 per cent copper.

Ongoing drilling at Estrella Resources T5 Zone, near the old Carr Boyd nickel mine north of Kalgoorlie, is providing something of a renaissance in a region where a short-lived nickel-copper mine operated early in the 1970s nickel boom. The company's project area takes in the mothballed Carr Boyd Rocks nickel mine, which shut decades ago and has seen little serious exploration since that time.

Estrella Resources remains on the money, with drilling at its T5 nickel discovery north of Kalgoorlie in WA continuing to deliver a wealth of sulphide mineralisation. The recently auspicious nickel explorer has furnished punters with yet another broad nickel sulphide intercept from its accelerated drilling campaign, with drill hole CBDD033 offering up close to 26m of sulphidic core.

Estrella Resources is ramping up exploration at its high-grade T5 nickel sulphide discovery in Western Australia, adding a second diamond rig to the metal hunt and upgrading infrastructure at the project. It is also expanding the scope of its work program having identified a bevy of new targets across this resurgent nickel-rich terrane.

Estrella Resources looks to have hit paydirt at the T5 nickel discovery near Carr Boyd Rocks in WA posting an assay intercept of 2.5m at an eye-catching 3.66 per cent nickel. This strike confirms the presence of high-grade nickel at the prospect and clears the way for an extended program across the emerging discovery north of Kalgoorlie.
