Abstract: Work to date indicates that although some significant gold assays
were returned from 25m surface grid sampling, gold occurrence is
confined to narrow low grade zones with sporadic higher grades in
quartz veins. It is however, possible that costean sampling under-taken by pick chip sampling could have under-sampled the harder quartz and silicified material. To check this possibility, re-sampling of the 9900N costean should be undertaken by hand held
percussion haimaer, large samples would be preferred. Should significant gold values result from the resampling, one drill hole could be sited to intersect the best mineralised zone. Although the relatively high values encountered in grid sampling on
several lines on the western slopes of the ridge probably represent
accumulation of auriferous quartz from narrow veins, the bulldozer cleaned grid sections on three grid lines should be chip sampled. The sections are: Line 10200N 9825E -9880E, Line l0400N 9850E -99002, Line l0500N 98502 -99002. Since the costean exposures, which were poor at the time of mapping, are now much improved due to early storm rains, remapping of the costeans would be advantageous.
