Thirteenth annual report on the evaluation of Coxco Lease AN 366 Emu Fault Zone

Abstract

The Coxco prospect is located about 10 km southeast of the HYC deposit. It is a sub-economic carbonate hosted Zn low Pb deposit within highly prospective Proterozoic McArthur Group stratigraphy, directly adjacent to a major regional structure, the north-south trending Emu Fault zone. Mineralisation exhibits both stratabound and structurally complex, fractured controlled characteristics with both sedimentary breccias and massive dolomite tectonic breccias respectively. A highly regular, cavitated, karst weathering profile within which conventional drilling techniques have failed to adequately recover oxide sample material, further complicate a deposit which has confounded multiple compaigns of evaluation spanning over 90 years.
