Dordie Rocks South (P15/4713)
The geophysical crew completed a fixed loop TEM survey covering most of Dordie Rocks South (P15/4713). This tenement was recently acquired by Jupiter and forms part of its Widgiemooltha Project Area. A nickel resource known as Dordie Rocks North is located just 600m to north north-east of, and just outside, the Jupiter tenement.
The data defines a conductor at depth close to the eastern boundary of the tenement (figure10). Interpretation suggests that it dips shallowly to moderately westwards; opposite to the general regional dip. This may be the result of structural complications, although there is a small risk that the limited aerial extent of the data has resulted in an erroneous interpretation. Its conductance is high (> 2000 Siemens), and although it is possible that it is a sulphidic sediment, the best response should be drill tested for its nickel sulphide potential.

Outlook
It is intended that during the current financial year, the exploration protocols at Widgiemooltha will be refined with respect to methods, application, and cost.
In particular, Jupiter will be examining all the remaining TEM conductors looking to add a geochemical element to assist target definition to increase the success rate of the drill hole programs.
The Company believes that the Widgiemooltha Projects area address is key, given its location within the historical nickel ground of Western Australia. The project has untested target zones and these zones will form the base for the next round of nickel and gold exploration for Jupiter in the region.
