Abstract

Two areas of gold anomalism have been located within this tenement. The SE anomaly, Priscilla was initially located by soil sampling and indicated anomalism extending for 2 km with some assays being greater than 2ppm Au. Follow up RC drilling intersected narrow mineralisation ie. 1m @ 1.48g-t Au, 1m @ 1.62g-t Au and 3m @ 0.51g-t Au. The same area was further tested by MMI soil sampling, which confirmed the initial anomalism of obtained by the previous soil sample program. An additional 8 RC holes were drilled, with some encouraging results obtained ie RHRC001 5m @ 1.94g-t Au and 7m @ 0.72g-t Au, RHRC002 1m @ 3.12g-t Au, RHRC 1m @ 2.12g-t Au, 8m @ 0.27g-t Au. The NW portion of the tenement was initially covered by a systematic soil sample program obtaining disappointing results and was followed up with vacuum drilling which also returned low results up to 30ppb Au. RAB drilling in the area intersected the following anomalous results:-94YCVRAB001 1m @ 1.32g-t Au, 94YCVRAB004 3m @ 1.05g-t Au, 94YCVRAB006 3m @ 4.01g-t Au and 2m @ 1.05g-t Au, 94YCVRAB007 1m @ 6.2g-t Au. The area was again sampled with a laser sample collected and resulted in the location of district linear high grade anomalies. The area was RAB drilled using the same grid system and verified the soil anomalism from high results were obtained ie YCW79 2m @ 21.3g-t and this anomaly was followed up by local infill drilling which obtained: YCH01 2m @ 2.45g-t Au, YCH002 1m @ 2.5g-t Au and 4m @ 0.44g-t Au. Similarly the anomaly obtained within YCW98 and 99 was followed up with an additional 3 RAB holes, the better result being YCH004 1m @ 1.01g-t Au. The same area was also covered and extended by an MMI soil sample program which defined a north western trending anomaly 500m long and 30m wide, it has not been evaluated further.
