Annual report 2009 to 2010 ML 25205 SunJade Project

Abstract

Visit to ML 25205 to finalise details of the target areas and check the area for any sign of unauthorised entry to the ML. Many small disturbed areas were observed but these were likely to be made by fossickers. We did not find any major disturbances. After heavy summer rains these would likely be filled and overgrown with small vegetation. Most of the areas that we visited for the purpose of target identification did not appear to have any disturbed areas and we were able to sample these areas with good results. We hand collected about 200 kgs from five areas. Prehnite is an extremely versatile gemstone and ranges in colour through white to various shades of green and yellow. Some is almost a gold colour. We believe that the areas identified should be open with small costeans for making observations and estimating possible reserves in each area. This information will be important in establishing a workable mine and enabling us to gauge future possible production rates and for placing true costs on mineral extraction.
