Harrier is in the southern portion of the Honeymoon Well ultramafic complex, and is the best preserved of the prospects.
The resource is 43 mt @ 0.64% Ni.
It strikes for 1700 metres and is 30-40 metres wide. Low Ni rocks contain pyrrhotite and minor pyrite intergrown with magnetite in lobate aggregates. In high Ni ore, lizardite is dominant, with some antigorite-carbonate assemblage,sometimes enveloped by talc-carbonate rocks. The primary sulphide zone shows pentlandite and trace chalcopyrite, pentlandite-heazlewoodite, and minor heazlewoodite only dominated sulphide assemblages in lizardite and antigorite rich rocks. In lizardite rich rocks, chalcopyrite occurs in veins with pyroaurite, brucite, magnetite and pyrite. In talc and some antigorite rich rocks the sulphides are millerite, pentlandite, violarite, pyrrhotite, trace chalcopyrite, and patchy gersdorffite, niccolite and maucherite, and minor pyrite.
