Fifth and Final Report on EL 8177 Millers for the period 29 September 1993 to 15 December 1998

Abstract

71 gravity readings were taken and an aeromagnetic/radiometric survey completed during year 1, soil sampling conducted on a 500 x 250 mgrid did not obtain anomalous values. An initial regional RAB reconnaissance drill program intersected mainly granites, with no results of interest obtained. Vacuum drilling was completed and located a low gold anomaly at Ringing Rocks, this was followed up with 115 hole vacuum drill program with highest results being 6.7ppb Au, 40ppm As, 219ppm Cu. Further infill drilling was completed with the better results being 54.5ppb Au, 337ppmPb, 144ppm As and 460ppm Cu, and it appears that an anomalous trend to the west-north-west is evident and is suggestive of a structural control. This trend was drilled by 14 RAB holes, results returned were not anomalous.
