Final Report for the period ending 30 January 1997 EL 9399 Robinson River East

Abstract

An airborne EM survey was acquired over the licence. No conductors were identified. General reconnaissance and rock chip sampling identified anomalous Cu-Co-Zn-As associated with the contact between the Sly Creek Sandstone and McDermott Formation. Maximum values obtained were 1.1% Cu, 677 ppm Co, 0.23% Zn and 651 ppm As. Follow-up consisted of 118 (91-80 mesh and 27 lag) samples collected on 50 x 200 metre centres. A 500 x 200 metre copper and cobalt soil anomaly was identified at the contact between the Sly Creek Sandstone and the McDermott Formation. The level of anomalism displayed was not significant. This combined with the lack of conductors downgraded the potential for significant copper mineralisation.
