Union Reefs Project, annual report for exploration on EL 6895 (Emerald Springs) for the period 22-06-1992 to 21-06-1993

Abstract

During the reporting period, a reconnaissance geological mapping and rock chip sampling programme was completed. This programme was designed to locate the source of several anomalies obtained in 1991. Limited mineralisation was located at the contact of the Gerowie Tuff and Zamu Dolerite, where stockwork quartz veining was found displaying minor brecciation and containing iron oxide filled vugs. The rock chip sampling assay results were negative with no anomalous values and the majority of results below detection limits. The highest gold result was only 0.02ppm. This work failed to explain the source of the soil anomalies.
