HIGHLIGHTS:
- Close spaced drilling confirms continuity at Cloud Nine, with thick, near surface Ultra-High brightness (+80 ISO-B) kaolinite. Resultsinclude:
- NBAC361: 10m @ 85.8 ISO-B from10m
- NBAC356: 24m @ 83.4 ISO-B from14m
- NBAC357: 28m @ 82.7 ISO-B from16m
- NBAC358: 20m @ 82.5 ISO-B from16m
- NBAC385: 28m @ 82.0 ISO-B from11m
- NBAC386: 22m @ 82.0 ISO-B from11m
- Incl: 10m @ 85.5 ISO-B from13m
- Outstanding halloysite results received from the first 14 holes in the Geostatistical Cross drilling program. Significant intersections include:
- NBAC356: 12m @ 25% Halloysitefrom34m Incl: 6m @ 36% Halloysite from34m
- NBAC357: 12m @ 24% Halloysite from32m
- NBAC358: 25m @ 28% Halloysitefrom14m Incl: 10m @ 43% Halloysite from26m

As part of the focused advancement of Cloud Nine, the Company has completed a series of close spaced aircore drillholes at 50 metre centres as part of a wider infill and extension drilling campaign. The close-spaced holes, completed along a 1km north-south line and a 1km east west line (Figure 1), were aimed at providing sufficient data to assess the variability of an area of Ultra-bright white kaolinite and high-grade halloysite.
