Source: M2R\nWhat’s next at Whaleshark?\nAs a result of work completed to date, the company believes there is potential for multiple styles of mineralisation within the Whaleshark Project including:\n\nBanded iron formation and/or intrusion related gold (e.g. Homestake, Hemi);\nIron oxide copper-gold (e.g. Ernest Henry, Starra);\nMagnetite iron (e.g. Maitland River, Miaree); and\nRoll-front uranium (e.g. Manyingee, Bennet Well).\n\nM2R is now finalising exploration work to be completed at Whaleshark during 2024 which will include a low-cost passive seismic survey to map the depth to basement across the project, a heritage survey covering potential drill sites, and further aircore drilling to map basement geology and/or interface geochemical anomalism.\n \nThis article was developed in collaboration with Miramar Resources, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing. \nThis article does not constitute financial product advice.
