Annual report 21 December 2010 to 20 December 2011, EL 27373 Bloodwood

Abstract

Reconnaissance work was undertaken in the form of surface geochemistry; comprising stream sediment and rock-chip sampling. Stream sediment sampling targeted drainages and ephemeral creeks within the EL; a total of 54 samples were collected. Rock chip samples were taken from old workings and in areas of geochemical anomaly. In all, 18 rock samples were collected; 11 of which were taken from the prospect known as Wilson's Find. No airborne Mag-Rad was undertaken. Surface geochemistry by both Crossland and Track Minerals, has identified significant Cu values at Wilson's Prospect, W mineralisation also appears to be likely. The veins have only been worked to a shallow depth, the variability of Cu-W mineralisation with depth and along strike of the quartz veins should be investigated in the 2012 programme. Also, the potential for U mineralisation at Venerable Creek should be followed-up.
