Ua holomua nui ʻo Chalice Mining i ka ʻeli ʻana ma ka papahana Julimar, 75 mau kilomita ma ka ʻākau o Perth.Ua hoʻonui ʻia nā ʻāpana mine 4 i ʻike ʻia i ka nui a ua ʻike ʻia he 4 mau ʻāpana hou.
ʻO ka wili hou loa i ʻike ʻia ua pili nā ʻāpana ʻelua G1 a me G2 i ka hohonu, me ka lōʻihi ma mua o 690 mika ma ka paʻi, e hoʻonui ana i lalo i 490 mika, a ʻaʻohe komo i ka paʻi ʻana i ka ʻākau a hohonu.
ʻO ke kūlana mining ma nā ʻāpana G1 a me G2 penei:
39 mika i ka hohonu o 290 mika, palladium papa 3.8 g/ton, platinum 0.6 g/ton, nikela 0.3%, keleawe 0.2%, cobalt 0.02%, me 2 mika manoanoa, palladium papa 14.9 g/ton, platinum 0.02 G/ tona, nickel 0.04%, keleawe 0.2% a me ka cobalt 0.04% mineralization, a me 4.5 mika manoanoa, palladium papa 7.1 g/ton, platinum 1.4 g/ton, nikela 0.9%, keleawe 0.5% a me ka cobalt 0.06% mineralization化.
Ua ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi o ka mine G3 i ka 465 mika, a ua hoʻonui ʻia i 280 mau mika ma ka ʻaoʻao.ʻAʻohe ona komo i ka ʻākau a hohonu ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka hahau.
ʻO ka ʻāpana koʻu G4 i wili ʻia ma kahi hohonu o 139.8 mika a loaʻa iā 34.5 mau mika o ka oka, palladium grade 2.8 g/ton, platinum 0.7 g/ton, gula 0.4 g/ton, nickel 0.2%, keleawe 1.9%, a me ka cobalt 0.02%.
ʻO G8, G9, G10 a me G11 nā mea hou i ʻike ʻia i nā ʻāpana oka kiʻekiʻe.
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka ʻāpana koʻu G8 ma mua o 350 mau mika a me 250 mau mika ma ka luʻu, a ʻo G9 ka lōʻihi o 350 mau mika ma ka paʻi a me 200 mau mika ma ka lua.
Loaʻa kēia mau ʻāpana koʻu ʻelua ma ka paia e kau ana o G1-G5, a hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ma nā ʻaoʻao āpau.
Ua ʻike ʻo G10 drilling i 18 mika ma kahi hohonu o 121 mika, me nā māka palladium o 4.6 g / t, platinum 0.5% g / t, nickel 0.4%, keleawe 0.1% a me ka cobalt 0.03%.ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o 400 mika, a hiki i 300 mau mika ma ke ʻano.Meter, ʻaʻohe komo i ka ʻākau a hohonu.
Ua loaʻa ka ʻāpana G11 i ka wili ʻana o ka paia o ka ʻāpana G4.Ua ʻike ʻia ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 1,000 mika ka lōʻihi ma ke kuʻi ʻana, a hiki i 300 mau mika ma ka luʻu ʻana, ʻaʻohe komo i ka ʻākau a i ʻole ka hohonu ma ka lua.
ʻO ka ʻāpana G11 o ka maina i wili ʻia e ʻike i ke kūlana:
◎ 11 mika i ka hohonu o 78 mika, palladium papa 13 g/ton, platinum 1.3 g/ton, gula 0.3 g/ton, nikela 0.1%, keleawe 0.1% a me ka cobalt 0.01%, me 1 mika manoanoa, palladium papa 118g/ tona, platinum 8g/ton, gula 2.7g/ton, nickel 0.2% a me ke keleawe 0.1% mineralization,
◎ Ma kahi hohonu o 91 mika, he 17 mika ka lua, palladium grade 4.1 g/ton, platinum 0.8 g/ton, gula 0.4 g/ton, nickel 0.5%, copper 0.3%, a me cobalt 0.03%.
ʻO Gonneville (Gonneville) he 1.6 kilomita ka lōʻihi a 800 mika ka laula.
Ua hōʻike ka hui i nā hopena o nā lua drill 64 i kēia manawa a ʻike i ka mineralization 260 mau manawa, kahi o 188 i ʻike ai i nā kino oka kiʻekiʻe.
ʻAʻole i hoʻopau ʻia ka nānā ʻana o nā laʻana wili ʻē aʻe he 45.
Ua loaʻa iā Charles ka palapala ʻae mai ke aupuni mai e hana i nā noiʻi ma ka Hulimar National Forest Park, a ke hoʻomaka nei ka hana.
Ua ʻōlelo ka hui inā hiki ke hōʻoia ʻia nā anomalies electromagnetic airborne a pau i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma ke ʻano he waihona, a laila hiki ke hoʻoholo ʻia ke kūlana o ka hulimar world-class copper-nickel mine.
