Annual report EL 6189 Mount Wells to 24 October 1990

Abstract

This years programme was designed to follow up anomalous gold stream sediment geochemistry outlined in 1989. 88 rock chip samples were collected. Most were at or below the limit of detection. One spot high (11.4ppm Au) was obtained from the northern end of a 250m quartz vein in chloritised greywacke with quartz veinlets, with 3 other samples from gossanous material in the vein returning values 0.06-0.13 ppm Au. Nearby parallel quartz veins also returned low level anomalous geochemistry. The area warrants follow up. Soil sampling failed to return values of interest.
