| Deposit | HUNT WAS A LIMITED NICKEL PRODUCER IN 1990 AND PROVIDED ABOUT 2000 MT/MONTH MAINLY FROM PILLARS. WMC MAY STEP UP NICKEL DEVELOPMENT AT HUNT, AS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NEW TARGET IDENTIFIED THAT CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE HUNT WORKINGS, AND REMNANT MINING COULD CONTINUE WELL INTO 1992. LOCATED SOUTH OF THE SILVER LAKE SHAFT, NEAR KAMBALDA, WA. |
