Relinquishment report on EL 25903 for the period 14 November 2013 to 12 January 2015

Abstract

The 2013-14 field season saw attention focused on the South West corner of the Exploration Licence. Four two hundred litre samples were collected from the area of the 'Misses mine' two were from within the old shaft, one at three metres, one from the bottom at approx. twelve metres. These samples were taken across the width of the exposed quartz vein and about a metre vertically. They were in essence large chip samples. A further sample was sourced from the remnant nearby ore dump. This was considered to be a comprehensive sample of the vein material. These samples were weighed, crushed, ground to minus one hundred mesh and gravity concentrated. A portion of the tailings of this exercise was ground further to minus two hundred mesh. The object of the exercise was to test the viability of treating ore by gravity concentration. It is estimated that a recovery of approx. eighty percent could be achieved by grinding to one hundred mesh, further grinding did improve the recovery but not a great deal. Over all the ore showed a recovery of two to two and one half grams per tonne. The alluvial sample was washed and screened to minus one hundred mesh and subject to gravity concentration. The plus one hundred mesh material was crushed, ground and gravity concentrated. The alluvial fraction showed no unusual tendencies and a low grade. The stone fraction also showed a low grade. Given the uncertain gold price and the narrow vein system involved the area may be worthy of consideration at a later date.
