A Cultural Heritage Survey has been completed at Rubix Resources (ASX:RB6) Lake Johnston project in WA.

A survey team comprising of registered Native Title Holders, the Ngadju People, Terra Rosa Cultural Heritage Consultancy and Rubix staff has reviewed the sites of proposed new access tracks and drill holes.

The survey approved the location of 30 holes for exploration activities with modifications that will authorise Rubix to avoid mature vegetation and to preserve the integrity of the local flora and fauna.

The initial phase of exploration will largely use existing access tracks with proposed holes positioned to target the Jimberlana dyke and Lake Johnston greenstone belt.

The Jimberlana dyke is considered prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation, while the Lake Johnston greenstone belt hosts both nickel and lithium mineralisation with lithium mineralisation hosted in shallowly to moderately-dipping, fractionated granitic pegmatites.

The Lake Johnston greenstone belt is host to recent lithium mineralisation discoveries from Charger Minerals (ASX:CHR) and TG Metals (ASX:TG6), which are located to the northwest and south from Rubix’s licence.

Lake Johnston comprises of exploration licence EL 63/2091, spanning 63km2 across 31-sub blocks and is located 105km west of Norseman. It’s prospective for gold, nickel, platinum group metals and lithium mineralisation.
