Third annual report for EL 8912 Moorlands for the 2001 field season

Abstract

Exploration during the 2001 field season comprised of: gridding, CRC sampling, lag sampling, soil BLEG sampling, soil conventional sampling, reconnaissance RAB/AC drilling, and prospect RAB drilling. Regional (infill) Bleg soil, lag and rock chip sampling in 2001 defined the Silverback and Kelpie East prospect areas at which detailed surface geochemistry and follow-up RAB drilling was completed. A further 9 areas of interest (M1 to M9) were also investigated with surface geochemistry, which unfortunately failed to verify the initial sampling results at all areas with the exception of the M1 area, where reconnaissance Aircore drilling has intersected anomalous As geochemistry at depth. Further regional Bleg soil sampling at 500xm x 500m density has outlined 3 further areas of interest to the west and south of the Windy Hill project area which will be investigated in more detail in 2002. Wide-spaced reconnaissance RAB drilling has confirmed two areas of anomalous As geochemistry in graphitic metasediments at depth, which will be investigated further in 2002.
