Brocks Creek Project Report for exploration on MLNs 176 and 1139 MCNs 4689-4697, 4701-4703, 4863-4871 and 4895-4899 for the period 27 June 1998 to 26 June 1999

Abstract

Work was conducted on the main prospects and workings within MLN 1139 and comprised of costeaning, RC and diamond drilling. Results of the costeaning completed at Howley Creek and John Bull prospects did not intersect economic mineralisation. RC drilling was aimed to increase potential resources close to existing pits and complete the coverage between prospects. The results were generally disappointing. At Britannia a minor mineralised pod with a strike length of 40 m was delineated , however it is not considered economically significant. Non viable mineralisation was obtained at the Crocodile/John Bull prospects; at Burgan prospect a zone of sub-vertical mineralisation is indicated, the better results include 11m at 1.74 g-t Au; 6m at 2.32 g-t Au. A small resource at Zapopan was obtained, with some high grade intercepts obtained i.e. 6m at 31.15 g-t Au, 5.2m at 23.58 g-t Au. During the year approximately 1.45m tonnes of ore was processed from the Alligator, Alligator East and Zapopan pits.
