Investment Thesis
Mulga Tank is a large ultramafic complex with confirmed disseminated pentlandite system; the 0.27% Ni resource grade is low (sub-economic at current Ni prices without higher-grade zones), but the Perseverance-style basal massive sulphide target — being tested by diamond tails on MTRC076/077 plus a $250K EIS-funded seismic survey — is the real prize. Semi-massive textures in MTRC078 near 294–297m are geologically encouraging but unassayed.
What No One Else Is Seeing
No assays yet — visual only; MTRC078 shows 20m disseminat...
Also: All 10 Phase 5 RC holes report visible disseminated pentlandite; MTRC046 follow-ups showing coarser stringer-to-semi-massive sulphides. Resource: 1,968Mt @ 0.27% Ni — 5.3Mt contained Ni (April 2025) — largest Ni sulphide deposit in Australia by contained metal

Fair Value Assessment
At US$0.002–0.004/lb grassroots-to-advanced multiple, 5.3Mt contained Ni implies A$35–70M in-situ value vs A$23M market cap — modest upside on the disseminated resource alone, but a genuine massive sulphide hit could be transformative. Cash of only A$2.4M (March 2026) is a near-term constraint requiring capital.
Key Concerns
Zero assays released — purely visual RC chip descriptions are not substitutes for lab results; 0.27% Ni bulk resource is sub-economic at US$16,000/t Ni without a high-grade core; thin cash runway and Ni price weakness are material concerns.
Key Drill Intercepts

Key Catalysts
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| Near-term | Pending drill results / assays |
| Medium-term | Resource estimate update |
Technically credible Perseverance-style hunt on Australia's largest Ni sulphide system, but this is a pre-assay visual update — wait for lab results and diamond core data before sizing a position.
