Dwyka Resources kicks off second phase of drilling at Muremera nickel project
28 May 2009
Dwyka Resources has brought in a drilling contractor to start the second phase of diamond drilling at the Muremera nickel project in Burundi.
Drilling targets have been identified following intensive VTEM surveys that generated signatures consistent with massive sulphide bodies that may have a nickel signature.
Those findings are approximately 10km from the Barrick/Xstrata Kabanga Project, which is currently the world's largest undeveloped nickel sulphide project.
Dwyka secured 100% ownership of the Muremera project in March 2009 with the handover of the exploration programme from BHP Billiton now complete. The next phase of the work programme has been submitted to the Government of Burundi in order to secure an extension of the current exploration licence.
Dwyka’s chief executive, Melissa Sturgess, said the company was “optimistic” about the project's potential.
