Details of exploration and mining activities on MCN 3423, during the five year period ending August 1995.

Abstract

The pegging of MCN 3243 followed the discovery of gold values during an exploration programme of EL 5065. Geological mapping revealed a tight anticline with a southerly pitch. Grid based BLEG sampling and rock chip sampling (mainly along the anticline axis) revealed 3 main areas of anomalous gold (peak values include 128 g/t and 170 g/t). Diamond drilling proves the downward extension of the mineralised saddle reef(s). Seismic refraction methods were also used in an effort to map Early Proterozoic rocks beneath a cover of cemented scree on a steep slope over which a Bleg anomaly had been located.
