Annual report for ELs 5622, 5624 and 6199 (Warrego/Black Eye), for the 12 months ending 31-01-1990

Abstract

Initially, aeromagnetic data was purchased and reinterpreted. A low level aeromagnetic survey was later flown over a selected area covering the licences. Interpretation of this survey was in progress at the time of reporting. The aeromagnetic survey outlined a total of 11 magnetic features and targets within the area retained, which were followed by detailed ground magnetics. Bedrock drilling using a vacuum rig was completed over targets M5, M7, M26 and T4. Geochemical samples were taken of the bottom metre of each hole. The targets M3, M5 and M9 were RC drilled. Petrographic analysis was completed for 8 RC drill samples. The results from the initial phase of RC drilling have indicated an encouraging target at M2 and shallow gold mineralisation in oxidised ironstone at the Black Eye workings at target M5. Follow up work is recommended for targets M3, M9, M5, M2 and T4.
