EL 8887 1996-1997 Annual report 8 November 1996 to 7 November 1997

Abstract

During the 1996-1997 field season, Northern Gold N.L. completed an MMI geochemical soil sampling program based on previous digital data interpretations. The MMI geochemical soil sampling program was completed over two lines, 500 metres in length. A total of 43 samples (Sample Nos. 188901 - 188943), including duplicates, were collected at 25 metre intervals and submitted to Amdel for Au, Ag, Pd, Ni and Co analysis using WAM-B digest method. The results returned from the MMI geochemical soil sampling program were generally disappointing. The highest result obtained was 0.55 ppb Au (Sample No. 188907, 8541725N 762844E). Rock chip sampling and geological mapping are required to fully assess the mineralisation potential within the licence.
