Caeneus Minerals Ltd. announced that its 2000 m RC drilling program has commenced at its wholly owned Pardoo Nickel Deposit. The project area, which is situated close to existing infrastructure is only 120 km north-east of Port Hedland via the NW coastal Highway. The initial phase 1 program, which has been contracted to Mt Magnet Drilling, is targeting shallow nickel and PGM mineralisation identified in historical drilling.

The drilling program will also test down-dip mineralisation continuity in the northern part of the occurrence and a possible repeat of the nickel mineralisation in the northeast.
