Annual report ELs 7426 and 7511, 14 October 1991 to 13 October 1992

Abstract

Mapping confirmed the results of the aeromagnetic interpretation of a prominent north trending anticline through the centre of the licences which was subsequently affected by NW trending shears. 64 rock chip and 12 soil samples were collected in or adjacent to shear zones during mapping with a maximum assay of 9.5ppm Au from a thin zone of limonitic veining. Follow up failed to reproduce this result.

Air core drilling was completed in the southern portion of the licence to test the 'C' soil horizon. 875 samples were taken. Analysis revealed a NW trending zone between 5-20ppb Au associated with the sheared western limit of the central anticline feature over approximately 4km strike (maximum assay 450ppb Au). 21 line km of ground magnetics was completed. Moderate anomalism was associated with zones of anomalous geochemistry.

Part of Aerodata's multiclient survey over the EL's were acquired totalling 1210 line kilometres over 220 square kilometres.
