Why is the Dundas share price rising?
Dundas is exploring nickel, copper, gold, and cobalt at the Albany-Fraser Orogen belt in Western Australia.
Investors are buying up Dundas shares on the back of drilling results at the company's exploration target.
Dundas discovered massive sulphides and ultramafic rocks at two holes drilled to a depth of 37 metres.
Analysis using pXFR showed multiple samples were anomalous in cobalt, nickel, copper, and silver.
Commenting on the results, managing director Shane Volk said:
The cobalt, copper, nickel and silver pXRF readings are very encouraging. We are moving as quickly as possible to test both Central AMT anomalies with diamond drill holes to depths of up to 500m.
As far as Dundas Minerals can determine, there has been no prior exploration ever conducted in this area of the Albany-Fraser Orogen, we are working in an absolute greenfield exploration environment.
Dundas listed on the ASX in November 2021.
