Abstract: During this reporting year Jinka Minerals completed two RC drilling programs focused on the known mineralisation within the mineral claims and leases. In February 2009 Jinka Minerals commenced an exploration drilling program focused on the Bellbird North, Green Parrot, Cox's Find, Reward, Bellbird, Rockface, Cox's North, Reward North and Pioneer prospect areas. At the end of the program a total of 20 RC holes had been drilled for a total of 3,426 m. The drilling occurred entirely within the smaller leases MCS 13, 23, 25, 26, 53, 54 and MLS 10, 51-57, and 90. Strong copper mineralisation was encountered in several holes at the Bellbird North prospect. The drillers were Arinooka Drilling. All RC drilling was done with a face sampling hammer and all metre intersections were riffle split. The collars were an 8' hammer to a depth of 6 metres lined with PVC pipe. The majority of the Arinooka holes were surveyed with a Reflex ez-shot down hole camera. They employed a chrome barrel behind the RC bit rod and the diamond barrel to reduce the effect of induced ferromagnetism in the drilling rods. Samples were either 1m riffle split where significant sulphides were observed, or 4m composite speared. All samples were analysed for Ag, Au, Cu, Mo, Pb, W and Zn. The samples were dissolved in a mixed acid digest and analysed by ICP MS at the ALS laboratory in Perth after being prepped in Alice Springs. A proposal for geophysical reinterpretation has been complied for action by Southern Geoscience. Reward Minerals have 13 drill holes at their Jervois Range base metals project that require DHMMR logging. Results of the drilling at Bellbird North have confirmed the presence of a significant grade copper mineralisation plus zones of Pb and Zn. Narrow lenses of disrupted Cu, Pb and Zn mineralisation has now been confirmed over a strike length of about 200m and down dip for about 150m. Drilling at the Cox's Find Prospect has confirmed a north plunging shoot containing significant copper grades and has confirmed established mineralisation zones to the north.
