Abstract

Results from 4 drill spoil and 3 stream samples from last years program became available. One drill spoil sample contained a microdiamond, whilst 3 stream results returned positive results ie. 9 and 18 chromite grains and another a diamond a chromite grain. An additional 17 stream samples were taken with samples returning 14, 3 and 1 grain chromite. None of the loam samples collected were anomalous, nor were the rock chip samples. A ground magnetic survey was completed and one anomaly drilled with negative results. An EM 34 survey was completed and two holes drilled into anomalies with one hole B4822 containing 5 chromite grains. Analysis of the rock dip samples taken suggest a non kimberlitic source.
