Fifth annual report to 4 June 2000 for EL 9104 Frances Maude Project

Abstract

The tenement is located within carbonate/shale sequence recognised as having similarities to the Rum Jungle Model. During the reporting period rock chip sampling program and reconnaissance traverses were carried out. The sampling results show weak anomalism in Cu, Pb and Zn.

Traversing located numerous previously unrecorded small outcrops of fresh massive unsilicified limestone. Examination of core from BMR's stratigraphic drilling program showed that 6 of the 8 drill holes penetrated calcareous units of the Masson Formation. Work completed confirmed the evidence for the presence of poorly outcropping carbonate rich unit up to 25 km long and 1 to 7 km wide with known weak Cu, Pb, Zn anomalies.
