Sockovac Project
60km² across 2 tenements in Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Project Overview
Sockovac Project
The Sockovac Project comprises two tenements — Doboj (50km², granted) and Petrovo (10km², grant pending) — covering 60km² in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project targets nickel and cobalt mineralisation identified through historical Yugoslav-era drilling and confirmed by modern soil geochemistry.
Historical drilling from 1969–1970 returned up to 5.1m @ 6.6% nickel. Cobalt was not analysed historically. Modern soil sampling has defined a large nickel-cobalt anomaly exceeding 1,000 ppm Ni and 100 ppm Co over a 14km² area. The company plans twin-drilling to confirm the historical results using modern JORC-compliant methods.

Prospects & Results
Sockovac Nickel-Cobalt
The principal prospect hosts high-grade nickel mineralisation confirmed by historical drilling. A large soil anomaly exceeding 1,000 ppm nickel and 100 ppm cobalt over 14km² demonstrates the scale of the target. Cobalt was not analysed in the historical drilling programs, representing potential additional upside.
Exploration Results
| Sample / Method | Grade | ASX Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Historical drilling (1969–1970) | Up to 5.1m @ 6.6% Ni | |
| Soil geochemistry | >1,000 ppm Ni and >100 ppm Co over 14km² |
