EL 5622 (Warrego East), summary report on exploration for the period 1-02-1988 to 1-02-1989

Abstract

Work initially involved a photogeological interpretation and aeromagnetic interpretation over the EL, which was carried out in conjuction with reconnaissance soil BLEG sampling. Elevated gold values were revealed, however this data is insufficient in order to draw any definite conclusions. The aeromagnetic interpretation has revealed 3 small anomalies of possible significance, identified as M1, M2 and M3. Soil and bedrock samples of M1, M2, and M3 indicated that there was little potential for shallow level significant mineralisation. The anomalies were also surveyed by ground magnetics, and drilled by RAB, RC and Vacuum drilling. An ironstone was intersected in target M2 and only disseminated magnetite was encountered in target M1. The ironstone did not contain any significant gold mineralisation. M3 was not RC drilled due to the fact that modelling of the ground magnetic data did not suggest an ironstone source.
