Sixth annual report for exploration on EL 7543 - Burnside for the period 19 December 1996 - 18 December 1997

Abstract

465 auger soil samples and 125 rock chip samples were collected on a grid from Medusa, Lymberover and Brittania north. At Medusa rock chips sampling returned a maximum of 586ppb as for an interpreted fold axis. Soil values were typically low except for a cluster of elevated values in the north of the prospect ranging from 13 + 40 ppb Au 1.03-1.93 g-t Pb and 1.2-1.83glt Zn. Soil sampling at Lymberover identified a weakly anomalous zone of 10-131ppb Au (including spot highs.) At Brittania North a weak gold in soil anomaly (10-56ppb) with isolated spot highs was identified. Arsenic is also elevated.
