Report on EL 3504 Burnside project for 1987

Abstract

The drilling campaign carried out in 1986 on the Kelly prospect revealed two holes with low grade mineralisation intersected over a substantial depth. Although possibly of supergene origin, the lateral extension of the mineralised volume and the type of mineralisation had to be checked. This was the objective of the 1987 percussion drilling campaign. No other work was carried out on the rest of the project. The drilling of four N-S profiles in the Kelly's prospect has revealed a mineralisation linked to fractures intersecting the rock formation. Where this mineralisation is shallow, it has been remobilised by the water table. Its extension is very restricted in the vicinity of a fault zone.

There is no point in carrying out further work on this prospect and the Joint Venture with Zapopan Consolidated should be terminated.
