Final report on EL 8703, 18 July 1994 to 24 February 1999

Abstract

The licence was originally evaluated by a regional 1500 m x 200 m soil sample program, with the higher result being 66 ppb Au which occurs on the western bounday of the licence. 39 lag samples were collected on a 800 m x 200 m grid in the north of the licence; gold results were low with some arsenic anomalism obtained. RAB drilling was conducted over the entire tenement at a 1500 m x 200 m pattern; results were low with a singular spot high of 100 ppb Au obtained. Anticlinal structures were targeted by soil sampling at 400 m x 25 m spacing and composited to 100 m, gold results were low but some base metal anomalism was indicated and was followed up by infill soil sampling which obtained a maximum value of 23 ppb Au with 2590 ppm Pb. 7 rockchip samples were collected and returned some anomolous Pb and Zn values.
