Follow-up drilling to build on recent high grade gold intercepts at Juglah Dome, Kalgoorlie
Drilling has resumed at Pioneer's 100%-held Juglah Dome Gold Project, located 58km southeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The current program will drill 150 rotary air blast (RAB) holes to test for continuity between the priority Moonbaker and John West Prospects, which are 1 kilometre apart, followed by the testing for strike length extensions. On completion, RAB drill hole traverses will have tested approximately 3 kilometres of prospective strike length.
RAB drilling hits high grade gold at Juglah Dome
Pioneer announce that the recent rotary air blast (RAB) drilling program at its 100%-held Juglah Dome Gold Project has successfully identified two new prospects for further drilling.
-Moonbaker: 3m at 18.0g/t Au from 9m, within a broader intercept of 12m at 5.4g/t Au. This hole was drilled to a depth of 21m with the last assay being 3m at 2.2g/t Au.
-John West: The combination of geochemistry and mineralised drill holes has defined a target with a strike length of 900m. Previously, gold nuggets and gold-bearing quartz veins had been located at the John West Prospect.

Pioneer completes $2.5 million Share Purchase Plan
As announced on 23 September 2010, the offer was significantly oversubscribed with applications received for over $3.4 million.
Pioneer's Managing Director David Crook thanked Shareholders for demonstrating their ongoing support for the Company by participating so strongly in the SPP. "When combined with the recent placement to sophisticated investors the Company has raised over $3.6 million which is already being applied to drilling programs," he said.
Due to the very strong interest shown by eligible Shareholders, the Board has decided to accept the maximum number of subscriptions permitted under the ASX Listing Rules, and therefore has accepted applications for $2,511,403 at the issue offer price of 3 cents per share.
Share Purchase Plan
The Share Purchase Plan is being offered to existing eligible shareholders and provides a right to acquire additional shares in the Company, with no fees or transaction costs.
The number of shares offered under the SPP is 25,000,000, to raise a total of $750,000. Should demand exceed this amount, the Directors of the Company may consider increasing the number of shares to be issued.
The offer price is $0.03 (3 cents) per share. The minimum application amount is $750 and the maximum under the ASX Listing Rules is $15,000. The offer price of $0.03 per share represented a 12% discount to the 5 day average closing price prior to the announcement of the capital raising on 26 August 2010. Participation in the SPP is optional, however the right to participate is not transferable. The offer to participate in the SPP closes at 5.00pm (WST) on Wednesday 22 September 2010, however the Directors reserve the right to vary the closing date without notice.

Fat Prophets - Pioneer Nickel
The company is typical of many quality, junior exploration companies that are doing it tough in the current market environment. The company boasts a strong portfolio of exploration projects and a high quality board to properly evaluate them, but the company has to watch its spending as the ability to replenish its cash reserves dries up. Nevertheless, with modest funding the
company is able to keep its exploration programs ticking over.
.... conclusion:
Whilst things will obviously be tough, retains core quality projects and a supportive major shareholder and exploration partner in Xstrata. Pioneer Nickel will remain held within the Fat Prophets Mining & Resources Portfolio.

Pioneer Resources (ASX:PIO) is gearing up for new drilling programs at its Fairwater Nickel Project in the highly prospective Albany-Fraser Orogen of Western Australia, and also at the Blair Nickel Project near Kalgoorlie. Pioneer held $2.2 million in cash at the end of December 2014, and raised $500,000 through a placement of 27.778 million shares at $0.018 earlier in the month. The company is offering a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) at the same price as the placement, which attracted new investors.

Exploring away
Pioneer Resources is pushing ahead with three exploration projects, where the company to date has reported some very encouraging results. The Acra gold project is the company’s primary focus. Nickel at Blair however has an interesting past and a potentially bright future. While at its recently acquired Fairwater project, exploration is just getting underway.
Fat Prophets
Further high-grade RC drilling results reinforce Acra gold project potential
Pioneer Resources remains on our Watch-list because of the high-grade drilling results that are being generated from its Acra Project. At 30 March 2013, Pioneer held cash reserves of $3.4 million and cash receivables of $2.3 million, totalling $5.7 million - meaning its exploration programs are well-funded.
Gavin Wendt, Mine Life
Pioneer Strong quarter of exploration activity anticipated during Q1 2013
Pioneer Resources (ASX: PIO, Share Price: $0.029, Market Cap: $15M) was added to our MineLife Portfolio Watch-list during June2011 based on the perceived exploration potential of the company's Mt Jewell gold project in Western Australia. During H2 2011 a maiden JORC-compliant resource was identified, comprising 3.78 million tonnes @ 1.53g/t Au for 185,600 contained ounces.
Pioneer was sensible enough to realise however, that the deposit wasn't sufficiently large enough to justify a stand-alone mining development, so it made a logical commercial decision during March 2012 to sell the Western Mt Jewell project to regional gold producer Carrick Gold (ASX:CRK) for $8 million. This left Pioneer in a cashed-up situation to be able to aggressively explore its other prospects, including its Acra project in WA's Eastern Goldfields - where recent drilling has intersected high-grade gold mineralisation. See link for full report.

Locantro's Life
Pioneer - Reloaded, rejuvenated and risk to the upside! BUY
Please find attached my report on Pioneer Resources (PIO) which follows the sale of their gold resources to Carrick Gold (CRK). The key for PIO is to now differentiate themselves from the plethora of juniors waving their arms trying to attract support in a tough market. A key advantage for PIO is that the bulk of their projects are located within 75km from Kalgoorlie-Boulder and any exploration success (as they have already shown) could see even small resource monetized.
PIO has also proven itself to be an outstanding trading counter on results and/or analyst coverage and I believe that with their project portfolio, management, and low base we again see some profit opportunities. I met with David Crook at the Gold Coast Resources Showcase, and will be attending the Proactive Investors “Stars in 2012” event tonight at the Hyatt Regency in Perth where David will be presenting the PIO story. During my advising career at Patersons I supported PIO by assisting with two small capital raisings and have experience with a number of the board members over the years. Dr Allan Trench is fast becoming the go to person when it comes to base metal price forecasts through CRU Group and I noticed this with the presentations on the Gold Coast.

Mt Jewell set to shine
Pioneer Resources Ltd (PIO) is a Perth-based exploration company with interests in gold, manganese and nickel projects in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The company is fully funded for exploration at its Mt Jewell gold project near Kalgoorlie in Q4 and represents an early stage investment opportunity, ahead of RC drilling in December. PIO has identified two thick zones of gold mineralisation within the Lignum Dam trend (Hughes and Tregurtha) and plans to drill test several encouraging targets along strike of the +1Moz Golden Cities camp. We anticipate exploration momentum and RC drilling at Mt Jewell will provide a key catalyst for PIO in Q4.

Despite the name this is more than a nickel story
The company has prospective projects and a proactive management, it just needs cash to undertake exploration. The grade and thickness of gold hits in early drilling at the Lignum Dam (WA) are sufficient to justify a speculative buy. We initiate coverage with a speculative buy for Pioneer Nickel ("Pioneer") based not on only the gold project but the nickel and manganese projects.

Further advancement on two key projects
Pioneer Nickel has continued to report highly encouraging drilling results from its Ravensthorpe and Golden Ridge joint venture exploration projects in Western Australia. Both projects are living up to our confident predictions and given the strong price environment for gold, copper and nickel, further encouraging exploration results could justify two separate small-scale mining operations.
www.fatprophets.com.au
Commencement of Nickel and Copper-Gold drilling programs
* PIO is undertaking two exciting drilling programs at its two key projects; Golden Ridge Nickel Joint Venture and the Ravensthorpe Copper-Gold project.
* Both projects are considered exciting exploration prospects with advanced exploration targets recently generated from earlier exploration success.
* With long term positive price trends for nickel and copper and long term supply strains PIO is well positioned to participate in this current high metal price cycle following any exploration success.
Ian Spence, Montagu's
Exploring a quality portfolio
Pioneer Nickel Ltd (PIO) is a well-funded explorer focusing on its flagship Golden Ridge and Ravensthorpe Projects in WA and securing experienced and well-financed JV partners for several of its other projects. While PIO is not cheap on current EV:Resource metrics of US$3.49/lb of nickel (peer average US$1.14/lb) we believe its active exploration program should see steady growth in current resources. Accordingly we rate PIO a SPECULATIVE BUY.
Patersons Securities Limited
Encouraging initial copper-gold results
Pioneer Nickel has this week reported highly encouraging initial drilling results from its new Ravensthorpe Joint Venture exploration project in Western Australia. The first 16 holes of the drilling program returned significant copper and gold intersections from just shallow depths. We anticipate the release of more results almost immediately, but even at this early stage, we can confidently say that the Ravensthorpe is living up to our confident predictions and there is real potential for development of an open-pit mining operation, in our view.
