HISTORY
• Historical Mining on ML 3333
• From 1922-1936, stopped by water table
• Multiple workings on three lodes
– The Bosker, Iona, Mona Lodes
• Officially produced 1033 ounces of gold from 1270 tons of ore.
• Mined to max of 27m depth
• Almost no mining on Iona Lode
WORK COMPLETED
• Research on historical production and previous exploration
• Mapping
• RC drilling
• Fire assaying
• Screen fire assaying
RC DRILLING
• Designed to intercept lodes at 30m and 50m vertical depth
• No old stopes intersected
• Quartz vein zones associated with shearing along fold axes
• Variable grade distribution
• Nuggety, coarse visible gold
• High grade ore-shoots suspected within veins
GRADE ESTIMATION
• Grade estimation difficult from RC drilling data
– Grades under-estimated due to dilution from metre based sampling
– Coarse gold – doesn’t pass 100 micron screen with standard crush and grind (flattened) so isn’t picked up by Fire Assay. 14 targets below were re-tested using Fire Screen Assay which on average greatly improved those drilling results by a factor of 5.
– Example – Hole 3 gold was first assayed at 2.08 gpt and later achieving 192 gpt after Fire Screen Assaying had been conducted.
EXPLORATION PERMIT
• 37 sub-blocks – 1100 Ha.
• Plan of Operations approved
• Native Title covered by expedited process
• Environmental Authority approved
• Prospective for high grade gold and copper
