IGO owns a nickel mine in the Fraser Range with significant exploration interests.

Sheffield Resources managing director Bruce McFadzean said: “We are very pleased to have formed the Fraser Range joint venture with IGO. They are a well-funded, dedicated nickel explorer and their ownership of the Nova mine underpins a long-term commitment to the region.

“The joint venture allows Sheffield to retain significant exposure to exploration success in the Fraser Range, should the company contribute to its 30% interest beyond the initial earn-in phase. The up-front cash payment of $500,000 is a welcome addition to our cash reserves, and follows the $17.1m capital raising completed last quarter.
