Second Annual Report for the Mount Frederick Project for the calendar year 2000

Abstract

The report detail exploration activities within the Mount Frederick project area including surface sampling, ground magnetic survey and drilling programs. Results from reconnaissance sampling at EL 8899 highlighted geochemical anomalies in three areas. Area 1- NNW trending 1.5 X 2.5 km gold-antimony anomaly (max 163.2 ppb Au and 19.4 ppm Sb), area 2 - gold values (326.2 ppb) were coincident with 1 x 3 km NNW trending antimony anomaly (max 14.3 ppm), area3 - single gold results of 29.1 ppb returned from quartz veins. Soil sampling program conducted over area 1 and 2 returned discouraging results. At EL 9015 reconnaissance lag sampling highlighted a 1.5 x 1.5 km antimony anomaly (10-20 ppm) with a weak gold association (max 11ppb). Soil sampling returned insignificant values in the majority of samples. The drilling programs facilitated a broad assessment of the project area regolith and bedrock geology. The best intersections are: 18m @ 15 ppb Au, 15 @ 25 ppb Au and 24 m @ 10ppb Au.
