These two projects comprise adjacent tenement holdings with different ownership structures, and with common exploration potential for deposits of nickel-copper-PGM's and uranium oxide. The projects are 600 kilometres north-north east of Perth in the Archaean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia, about 70 kilometres from the mining centre of Meekatharra. The projects are prospective for Sudbury-style World Class nickel-copper-PGM deposits and contain part of the Nowthanna calcrete-hosted uranium oxide deposit. Read more

Impact Minerals identifies nickel targets at Yarrabubba JV Project
Impact Minerals has defined two priority drill targets for nickel mineralisation at the Yarrabubba Joint Venture Project near Meekatharra in Western Australia. The company has a 20% share of the Yarrabubba Project and is in Joint Venture with CITIC Nickel Australia Pty Ltd (60%) and four private investors (20%). An infill soil geochemistry survey at Target NH1 identified the mineralisation at Yarrabubba, which covers a large (>50 km) diameter meteorite impact structure that has similar geological features to those at the large Sudbury mining camp in Canada that has produced about 20% of the World's nickel.
