Annual technical report for EL 24739 Jinka West 2 February 2007 to 1 February 2008

Abstract

Following the positive results from the geochemical sampling an airborne VTEM survey was flown over the entire EL at a 300m spacing as part of a much larger survey incorporating the Indiana Project as a whole. The preliminary date received to date suggests the survey did not detect any high priority conductive bodies. Although no conductive anomalies were identified from the airborne VTEM survey, the final data has not yet been received and interrogated. The VTEM results do not preclude the area to host a disseminated sulphide system. The geochemical sampling completed in 2006 is yet to be followed up and has revealed anomalous nickel values consistent with their being ultramafic rock types nearby or beneath thin cover. Copper values are generally low but may increase in the north of the sampled area which may be providing a vector towards a Ni/Cu sulphide in the covered ultramafic rocks. Further work will include ground followup over the anomalous geochemical results and on the magnetic anomalies detected from the VTEM survey. At the time of writing the final data from this survey was not available and will be forwarded as soon as possible.
