Annual report on ERL 56 period ending March 1985 - March 1986.

Abstract

Stream silt sampling was carried out around Bundey 1 as orientation for the regional stream survey. Strong gold and weak arsenic responses were demonstrated. Vein sets exposed in costeans at Bundey 1 were selectively sampled to investigate the distribution of gold in veins of various attitudes. Most significant mineralization is confirmed to occur in veins dipping steeply east with strikes of 125degrees - 160degrees. This vein orientation is adequately tested by the predominantly west-inclined drill hole pattern employed to date. Further detailed mapping and sampling of Buadey 1 costeans was undertaken, adding modestly to the interpreted possible in situ resource. Other work included continued operation of the meteorological recording station, and inspection of the Dl prospect.
