Woolonga South Pine Creek District Annual Report 5th year.

Abstract

This report covers the 1988 exploration activities completed by Dominion Mining Limited and previous holders, Territory Resources NL, on the three blocks of EL 4415 A and B known as Woolwonga South. The exploration licence covers ground south of Dominion's Woolwonga prospect. Previous investigations have shown areas of anomalous gold mineralization and the possible southern extension of mineralized Woolwonga-related structures. During 1988 Territory Resources NL placed EL 4415 A and B on sale by tender and Dominion purchased the licence on 15 November 1988. As such, no field exploration by Dominion was possible in the fifth year of tenure. Exploration activity proposed by Dominion in 1989 will include an aeromagnetic survey, extensive soil sampling and geological mapping. Soil anomalies are to be followed up by costeans across residual soil anomalies and RAB drilling across alluvial/colluvial areas. Exploration conducted by Territory Resources in 1987 defined three anomalous zones of gold mineralisation.. Conclusions drawn from an aeromagnetic survey indicated the Woolwonga anticline extended south into the licence and an inferred anticline lies halfway between the Woolwonga and Glencoe anticlines. A Geoflite survey indicated potential mineralisation within a zone coincident with the inferred anticline and one of the previously defined geochemical anomalies. Dominion in 1989 will focus their exploration on targets previously defined by Territory Resources and targets generated by an aeromagnetic and radiometric survey. Exploration activities proposed include air photo analysis, extensive soil sampling of residual soil area, costeaning of any soil anomalies and RAB drilling of alluvial/colluvial wash area. An 1W percussion drill rig may be mobilised from the adjacent Woolwonga prospect if necessary.
