AN 25103 Gunn point clay investigations 2008-11

Abstract

This report outlines historical exploration data and our investigations through to April 2008 and includes our conclusions for the continuation of exploration over the area during the dry season 2010. With consideration for the initial results obtained it has been ascertained that swelling clays, vermiculite exists within the zones between 20 and 28 metre depths. These results have provided us with enough incentive to re-apply for the entire 6 blocks and to undertake shallow sample drilling in the areas due west of drill holes 12-16. The area selected for sampling is intended to provide us with access to target zones using the natural descending contours of the landscape and to further explore the extents of the zones of interest across the axis of the original linier drilling pattern. The drill hole areas 12-16 contained the core samples of interest in which our analysis re-confirmed the presence of montorillinite. Details of the proposed drilling program are to be provided in the coming months.
