1989 Annual report on MCS 38 Gheko Prospect

Abstract

The prospect was re-examined in 1989 but the small size of the resource and the low commodity prices meant that development of the site was not warranted. The area will continue to be on a care and maintenance basis. The low grade Pb-Zn(Cu) mineralisation is stratigraphically controlled and occurs in gossanous haematite-actinolite rocks marginal to garnetiferous quartzite. The Gheko Prospect is considered to be a stratigraphic equivalent of the Rankin's Prospect mineralisation, due to the similarity of the control and the presence of similar gneisses and amphibolite in the two prospects.
