EL 9167 final report to 30 June 1997

Abstract

The report contains the assays outstanding from the year one annual report. A visual inspection of the assay data has highlighted several anomalous values with a maximum assay of 25ppb Au. Arsenic values are generally low. 1. The area consists of sediments from the lower Proterozoic Burrell Creek Formation. The majority of the area is covered by alluvial sediments from the Margaret River drainage system. Northern Gold NL completed a work program involving digital data acquisition and manipulation. Landsat Imagery, SPOT Imagery and AGSO mapping were obtained and used in conjunction with aerial mapping and site visits to determine the best method of exploration to be used on the licence. During the 1995/96 field season a regional soil sampling program was also completed over EL 9167. Nineteen lines, varying in length from 1,500 metres to 3,600 metres, were sampled on a 400 metre line spacing. Samples were collected every 25 metres and composited to 100 metres, with duplicates taken every 20th sample. A total of 431 samples were collected.
