Ivanhoe Mines is exploring the Northern Limb of South Africa’s the Bushveld Complex, adjacent to Ivanplat’s Platreef Project. Ivanhoe’s geologists are testing a large gravity-high anomaly based on wide-spaced historical Council for Geoscience data. The working hypothesis is that the large gravity-high anomaly is interpreted by scientific research to represent a potential primary feeder zone of magma and mineralization into the Northern Limb of the Bushveld Complex, essentially the sources of mineralization that make up the Platreef and other Northern Limb deposits.
The collection, interpretation, and review process of all geological and geophysical data was completed early in 2024. The geological understanding of the anomaly continues to evolve, with numerous targets identified for drilling.
Following the completion of heritage surveys and community engagement around the proposed drilling sites, Geosearch, a diamond drilling contractor, commenced drilling in janvier 2025. A 6,000-metre diamond-core drill program is planned over four holes. Completion of the drilling program is expected by the end of 2025. Downhole geophysics will be conducted concurrently with drilling.
