Abstract: Some of the tenements were covered by a detailed regional aeromanetic survey. On MCC315, Pigale 2 RC holes were completed, one of which intersected 15m at 0.74g-t Au and 1.64%Cu. A corehole was also completed and intersected 7.7m at 8.1g/t Au, and 3%Cu including 1m at 53.0g-t Au. Within mCC348-351 a data review was completed and some core was resampled and returned low values. 27 soil samples were collected within MCC888-895, results were low with an isolated peak of 111ppbAu obatined. A data review was completed on MCC904-906 which indicates that additional RAB drilling is warranted at MCC981-982 modelling of the aeromagnetic anomaly. A data review was completed at MLC20, 693. On MLC328-337, the Queen of Sheba prospect, the southern shear was targeted. Two unsuccessful precollars were abandoned due to excessive deviation, whilst the third hole QSDD5 missed the target zone. The main magnetic body was targeted with a proposed 1000m hole but was abandoned at 791 when the rods became bogged within a talcose shear zone. The hole intersected quartz chlorite, hematite-magnetite from 359-467, isolated gold values were intersected i.e. at 365.2m, 2.18g-tAu over 0.6m, 1.71g-tAu over 1 m from 413m, 6.45g/t Au over 4m from 414.6m. A core hole, QSDD8 was drilled to intersect the northern part of the southern shear, again the main target was missed but an intersection of 8m at 0.53%Cu was made. Holes QSRC9 and 10 were targeted to intersect the alteration zone within QSDD6 at a shallower depth. Hole QSRC10 intersected 3 narrow zones with values ranging from 1-6g/tAU.
