Ua holomua nui ʻo Chalice Mining i ka ʻeli ʻana ma ka papahana Julimar, 75 kilomita ma ka ʻākau o Perth. Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o nā ʻāpana lua 4 i ʻike ʻia a ua ʻike ʻia he 4 mau ʻāpana hou.
Ua ʻike ʻia ma ka ʻeli ʻana hou loa ua pili nā ʻāpana ʻelua o ka hao ʻo G1 a me G2 i ka hohonu, me ka lōʻihi ma mua o 690 mika ma ke kaha ʻana, e hoʻolōʻihi ana i lalo a hiki i 490 mika, a ʻaʻohe komo ʻana ma ke kaha ʻana i ka ʻākau a me ka hohonu.
ʻO ke kūlana o ka hana mining ma nā ʻāpana G1 a me G2 penei:
39 mika i ka hohonu o 290 mika, palladium grade 3.8 g/ton, platinum 0.6 g/ton, nickel 0.3%, keleawe 0.2%, cobalt 0.02%, me 2 mika ka mānoanoa, palladium grade 14.9 g/ton, platinum 0.02 G/ton, nickel 0.04%, keleawe 0.2% a me cobalt 0.04% mineralization, a me 4.5 mika ka mānoanoa, palladium grade 7.1 g/ton, platinum 1.4 g/ton, nickel 0.9%, keleawe 0.5% a me cobalt 0.06% mineralization化.
Ua ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka lua G3 ma ke kaha ʻana ma mua o 465 mika, a he 280 mika ka lōʻihi ma ke kaha ʻana. ʻAʻohe ona komo ʻana i ka ʻākau a hohonu ma ke kaha ʻana.
Ua ʻeli ʻia ka ʻāpana lua G4 ma ka hohonu o 139.8 mika a ua loaʻa iā ia he 34.5 mika o ka ore, palladium grade 2.8 g/ton, platinum 0.7 g/ton, gula 0.4 g/ton, nickel 0.2%, keleawe 1.9%, a me cobalt 0.02%.
ʻO G8, G9, G10 a me G11 nā ʻāpana o ka hao kiʻekiʻe i ʻike hou ʻia.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka ʻāpana maina G8 ma mua o 350 mika ma ke kaha a me 250 mika ma ke kahawai, a ʻo G9 he 350 mika ma ke kaha a me 200 mika ma ke kahawai.
Loaʻa kēia mau ʻāpana eli ʻelua ma ka pā kau o G1-G5, a aia ka hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ma nā ʻaoʻao āpau.
Ua ʻeli ʻo G10 i 18 mika ma ka hohonu o 121 mika, me nā papa palladium o 4.6 g/ton, platinum 0.5% g/ton, nickel 0.4%, keleawe 0.1% a me cobalt 0.03%. ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi ma ke kaha ma mua o 400 mika, a hiki i 300 mika ma ke au. Nā mika, ʻaʻohe komo ʻana i ka ʻākau a hohonu.
Ua loaʻa ka ʻāpana G11 ma ka ʻeli ʻana o ka pā kau o ka ʻāpana G4. Ua ʻike ʻia he ʻoi aku ma mua o 1,000 mika ka lōʻihi ma ke kaha, a hiki i 300 mika ma ke kahawai, a ʻaʻohe komo ʻana ma ke kūkulu ʻākau a hohonu paha ma ke kahawai.
ʻEli ʻia ka ʻāpana G11 o ka lua e ʻike i ke kūlana:
◎ 11 mika i ka hohonu o 78 mika, palladium grade 13 g/ton, platinum 1.3 g/ton, gula 0.3 g/ton, nickel 0.1%, keleawe 0.1% a me cobalt 0.01%, me 1 mika ka mānoanoa, palladium grade 118g/ton, platinum 8g/ton, gula 2.7g/ton, nickel 0.2% a me ke keleawe 0.1% mineralization,
◎ Ma ka hohonu o 91 mika, he 17 mika ka lua, he 4.1 g/tona ka palladium, he 0.8 g/tona ka platinum, he 0.4 g/tona ke gula, he 0.5% ka nickel, he 0.3% ke keleawe, a he 0.03% ka cobalt.
ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka mea komo hewa ʻo Gonneville (Gonneville) he 1.6 kilomita a he 800 mika ka laulā.
Ua hōʻike ka hui i nā hopena o 64 mau lua wili i kēia manawa, a ua ʻike ʻia ka mineralization he 260 mau manawa, a he 188 o ia mau mea i ʻike i nā kino ore kiʻekiʻe.
ʻAʻole i pau ka nānā ʻana i nā hāpana ʻē aʻe he 45 i ʻeli ʻia.
Ua loaʻa iā Charles kahi palapala ʻae mai ke aupuni mai e hana i nā noiʻi ma ka Hulimar National Forest Park, a ke hana ʻia nei ka hana i kēia manawa.
Ua ʻōlelo ka ʻoihana inā hiki ke hōʻoia ʻia nā anomalies electromagnetic lewa i wehewehe mua ʻia ma ke ʻano he mau waihona, a laila hiki ke hoʻoholo ʻia ke kūlana o ka lua keleawe-nickel papa honua ʻo Hulimar.
