Exploration department end of year report December 1996

Abstract

RC drilling on 50 x 40m centres at North Cross Course, Prospecting Claim and Lady Alice confirmed the continuity and grade of the western lens at depth, provided encouraging results at Prospecting Claim and identified high grade zones at the Lady Alice. Infill drilling at Prospecting Claim, Lady Alice and Crosscourse South upgraded the resources in all three areas, in particular it proved the continuity of higher grade mineralisation at Prospecting Claim. Drilling at Ping Ques South targeted lenses J + K. This work downgraded the lenses but outlined continuality between the two lenses which does not out crop. Two areas were subject for sterilisation drilling prior to extensive to the North Waste Dump. This drilling returned some anomalous values and constrained the development to the southern extension
