Relinquishment report for the period ending 12 November, 1997

Abstract

EL 7725 is a continuation of the Mt. Wells mineralised system. Exploration for possible extensions of the Mt. Wells tin/copper lodes was completed during the fifth year of tenure. Exploration work consisted of a ground search to locate surface mineralisation of zones of intense alteration which may be worth exploring at depth for Cu and Sn. The continuation of the main lode and west lode mineralised systems continue through the EL mainly as ferruginous sheared siltstone with minor gossan. A stronger tin price would justify exploration at depth. The gold occurs as very coarse colours and small nuggets with very little fine or small flaky gold. Follow up work will further define the mineralised areas.
