EL 9333 Waterhouse Range second and final report for the period ending 30th May 1998

Abstract

Soil, rock chip sampling and RAB drilling completed within year one is referenced to that report. This report describes the work completed in year two. Work concentrated on the Goyder Formation which is anomalous in base metals, especially copper. RAB drilling was continued during the year with a significant number of holes being anomalous in copper, ie normally greater than 200ppm and also silver, some sporadic Pb and Zn anomalism was also obtained, but is not normally associated with the copper. Two core holes were drilled to intersect the Pacoota Sandstone-Goyder Formation, anomalous copper was intersected close to the contact of the two units. The RC holes were collared in Goyder Formation and two of these holes intersected anomalous Cu mainly within glauconitic sandstone and some siltstone.
