Lucky Creek

The Lucky Creek Prospect is located 3km east of the Cockie Creek Copper Deposit and covers a linear zone of anomalous nickel, cobalt, copper and zinc soil values. Peak values of up to 1220 ppm Ni, 596 ppm Co, 272 ppm Cu and 192 ppm Zn are observed over the anomalous area. Rotary air blast (RAB) regolith drilling during 2018 by Superior returned peak values of 1470 ppm Ni, 1080 ppm Co and 58 ppm Sc and confirmed the extent of the anomalous zone to be up to 3.8 kilometres long.

The prospect area is also coincident with a linear aerial magnetic feature and to the northeast of the anomalous area, a high order VTEM anomaly. Further to the northeast of the VTEM anomaly, historical work has been completed on a ferruginous area with outcropping gossans showing anomalous soil copper and zinc values at the Lucky Duck Prospect. The entire zone of interest between Lucky Creek and Lucky Duck extends for 12km and lies within Superior’s tenements.

The Lucky Creek Prospect area may include mafic to ultramafic intrusions that may host magmatic nickel- copper-cobalt sulphide mineralisation. Planning is underway to follow up the geophysical features with deeper drilling as part of the Company’s Nickel Targeting Strategy.
