Combined annual and renewal report for MCC 798 Ivanhoe, MCC 801 Explorer 13S, MCC 802 Explorer 104 or Zinfandel, MCC 805 Explorer 219, MCC 806 Jubilee Mine, period 5 years from 12 October 1988 to 11 October 1993

Abstract

The work completed during the anniversary period included: Gravity surveys over Zinfandel and Jubilee, vacuum drilling at Ivanhoe (33 holes-440m) Zinfandel (279 holes- 1248m) and Jubilee (293 holes-1041.1m), RAB drilling at Zinfandel (6 holes 330m) and RC drilling at Jubilee (9 holes-751m). The vacuum drilling at Zinfandel returned a peak value of 1.57 g-t. Anomalous geochemistry was associated with gravity highs. Follow up RAB results were disappointing with a maximum value of 0.07 g-t Au. Drill results were generally low though a max value of 4.07 g-t Au was obtained. At the Ivanhoe prospect a mercury vapour and a U-K-Th profiling technique was trailed. Results suggested it has some application to the Tennant Creek Field.
