Following the IPO, Mr John Downie will commence as AusNiCo CEO (refer ASX release of 16 June 2010) and will drive the continued exploration and development of AusNiCo's nickel sulphide discovery at Pembroke and Mt Cobalt, which has already returned an exploration drilling result of 50m @ 0.34% Nickel, including 4m @ 1.1% Nickel. The style of mineralisation is based on the Avebury deposit in Tasmania, owned by Allegiance Mining prior to its A$840m take-over by Zinifex in 2008. At Avebury 172,000 tonnes of contained nickel was defined (refer footnote) and later developed at grades of approximately 1% nickel, and concentrates containing more than 20% nickel were produced.
