Nickelx Ltd ( (AU:SMX) ) has issued an update.

Strata Minerals Limited will restart drilling at its Zelica Gold Project in Western Australia, having secured a rig for a second-phase reverse circulation program of about 20 holes totalling 2,500 metres. The campaign follows a maiden program that delineated near-surface high-grade gold mineralisation over roughly 1km of strike, with notable shallow intercepts and mineralisation remaining open at depth and along strike.

The Phase 2 work will focus on step-out drilling to test depth extensions of known gold zones and infill drilling designed to fast-track a JORC-compliant maiden mineral resource estimate. With the recent acquisition of the adjacent Zelica South Project extending the prospective corridor to more than 8km on a granted mining lease, the program positions Strata to assess near-term mining options and potentially scale up its footprint in a well-endowed gold district.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:SMX) stock is a Hold with a A$0.02 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nickelx Ltd stock, see the AU:SMX Stock Forecast page.
