First annual report for EL 22759 and EL 22761 for year ending 1 April 2003

Abstract

Work included geochemical sampling and ground magnetic surveys completed on EL 22759 area and the potential for a small to medium sized resource of Zn-Cu mineralisation at depth along the Gecko trend. No further sampling is warranted as the surface extent of the prospective unit is well defined. A program of fixed loop EM surveying is therefore proposed to test for the potential of sulphide mineralisation at depth with the prospective horizon. Field inspection on the EL 22761 confirmed the poor outcrop but did succeed in explaining the source of the magnetic trends in the central part of the tenement as magnetite-bearing amphibolite and unrelated to alteration. The rock chip and soil sampling failed to provide any anomalous results. Although no significant results are evident from the work done the effectiveness of the program has been hindered by the poor outcrop and transported cover sediments.
