Third annual report 12 September 1997 to 11 September 1998

Abstract

Stream sediment recording was completed within EL 2516, 2506 where previous gold anomalism was obtained. The highest result obtained was 1.32g-t Au and seven samples between 10ppb and 77ppb Au in an area designated Razorback. Further follow up was conducted with a further 19 BLEG samples collected with highest result being 77ppb. Rock chip sampling was carried out with a singular significant gold assay of 1.42g-t Au obtained within a malachite stained schist. Airborne radiometric anomalies were ground checked with four radioactive springs located and some radioactivity associated with lateritic gravels. Ground radiometric surveys were completed at South Horn, Gurrigarri - Gorrunghar, no significant anomalism was detected. Two dipole magnetic anomalies were sampled for kimberlite indicator minerals, two samples returned 1 or 2 chromites respectively. At the Caramel grid HL-MaxMin 50 - 100, Protem 47 and Gravity surveys were completed for geological interpretation of the thickness of specific sedimentary units. In the South Horn area, two different EM techniques were used to focus on targets adjacent to the Khuber Pass structural corridor. RAB drilling was completed at the Gurrigarri, Gorrunghar, West Tin Camp, South Horn and East Tin Camp areas. Anomalous Uranium was indicated within some of the holes at South Horn especially in the anomaly 11 area and has some associated gold anomalism. RC holes with diamond tails were drilled at South Horn anomaly 6 and anomaly 3-4, at the Caramel known mineralisation. With uranium and associated gold anomalism obtained in holes SHD002, SHD003, SHD004, SHD010 and SHD011 at the South Horn area. 6 holes in the Caramel area were anomalous.
