Report on drilling at South Enterprise, October 1989, MLN 13

Abstract

Ten diamond holes were drilled at the South Enterprise designed to intersect down plunge mineralisation of the Enterprise saddle reef system and to define the structure and lithology in this area. Evidence from this programme indicates there is a significant increase in the plunge of the anticlinal axis increases from 11300N. This has been caused by the effect of South Enterprise Fault. Mineralisation was intersected within the Nodular chert Unit, however it does not appear to be strong. Some of the best intersections made were 22.5 m at 1.72 grams per tonne Au and 32.5m at 2.63 grams per tonne Au. Further deep drilling is proposed.
