Canadian-based Karora Resources Inc. announced a new high-grade nickel discovery on April 6 at its Beta Hunt mine in Western Australia. The discovery, named the 50C Nickel Trough, is the second new nickel discovery at Beta Hunt in the last six months, giving credence to the potential for nickel as a by-product credit of the mine's gold production profile.

Significant nickel intersections include 11.6% nickel over 4.6m, confirming the presence of "massive and matrix" nickel sulphide mineralization.
