Sampling of drill core DDH3 Magellan held at NTGS Alice Springs Core Library 18 March 2008

Abstract

A Niton Portable XRF Scanner was used to test core from DDH3 Magellan at Johnnies Reward for 17 elements: As, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mo, Mn, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sr, Th, U, Zn, Zr. Results are generally low and, for some elements fall almost entirely within the estimated error range. It was concluded that insufficient base metal mineralisation occurred within the core to warrant further cutting and sampling.
