Widgie Nickel (ASX:WIN) has confirmed high-grade nickel mineralisation at its Gillett North target within the company's Mt. Edwards Project.
The first batch of exploration assay results have been received by Widgie's geos, with evidence of a significant sulphide deposit noted in downhole electromagnetic surveys.
Between the Gillett and Gillett North targets, mineralisation is perceived to extend for 1.15km; both targets are themselves within the larger 'Widgie South' area.

Results from the most recent drillhole announced today will be used to inform a further exploration plan for the Widgie South portion of Widgie's acreage.
