The <strong>Musgrave</strong> Province: A large under-explored block of Proterozoic-aged rocks comprising adiversity of geological environments Nickel sulphide mineralisation is associated with the extensive maficultramaficintrusions of the Giles Complex (~1080 Ma) In South Australia, lies almost entirely within Anangu PitjantjatjaraYankunytjatjara (“APY”) Land, where exploration access has beenrestricted Mithril is one of a few companies with exploration access and holds thelargest tenement position (34,000sqkm) with 5 granted tenements
