Abstract

In year 1 sampling recovered a diamond and numerous chromites defining two anomalies (Area 1(an 1 + 2) and Area 2(anomaly J)). The first phase of sampling in year 2 was to follow up these anomalies. This program consisted of 87 heavy mineral 8 geochemical and 2 rock chip samples from 89 drainages. 15 heavy mineral samples were positive returning numerous chromites And a diamond. Phase 2 sampling consisted of follow up sampling of positive results and follow up of 54 geophysical anomalies. The program consisted of 126 geochemical and 126 heavy mineral samples plus 12 rock chip samples. Diamond results are yet to be received.
