Further Exploration

Four new prospect areas identified for further exploration

 

Calingiri

Target Commodities

  • Ni-Cu-PGE hosted in mafic / ultra-mafic intrusive rocks
  • BIF hosted gold

Project Geology#

Age: Archean 4 Ga – 2.5 Ga
Terrane: Youanmi Terrane
GSWA Lithology: Gabbro; metamorphosed granodiorite; mafic rocks; iron formation

# Source: Geological Survey of Western Australia, Youanmi Terrane (YYO) explanatory notes

Exploration Analysis

  • Northern extension to NRL’s Bolgart project;
  • Bounded by terrane-scale thrust / Paleo cratonic boundary;
  • High amplitude discordant magnetic anomalies may indicate mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks;
  • Quartz sulphide BIF with Au potential.

 


Muggamuggin

Target Commodities

  • Ni-Cu-PGE hosted in mafic / ultra-mafic intrusive rocks

Project Geology#

Age: Archean 4 Ga – 2.5 Ga
Terrane: Youanmi Terrane
GSWA Lithology: metamorphosed mafic rocks; iron formation

# Source: Geological Survey of Western Australia, Youanmi Terrane (YYO) explanatory notes

Exploration Analysis

  • Historical Cleansweep iron ore prospect;
  • High amplitude discordant magnetic anomalies may indicate mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks;
  • May represent an intrusive gabbro;

 


Yerecoin North

Target Commodities

  • VMS Copper deposits

Project Geology#

Age: Archean 4 Ga – 2.5 Ga
Terrane: Youanmi Terrane
GSWA Lithology: gabbro; metamorphosed granodiorite; mafic rocks; iron formation

# Source: Geological Survey of Western Australia, Youanmi Terrane (YYO) explanatory notes

Exploration Analysis

  • Historical Yerecoin North iron ore prospect;
  • Potential for VMS copper with historical drilling intercepting 4m @ 0.76% Cu (Chalcopyrite);
  • High amplitude discordant magnetic anomalies may indicate mafic intrusive rocks;
  • Airborne EM not effective due to local electronic interference;
  • 25 drill intercepts > 500ppm Ni and 10 intercepts > 0.1% Ni
    • YN12DD029 – 0.74% Ni, 350ppm Cu, 0.2% Pb, 0.78% Cr, 410ppm Zn
    • YN12DD028– 930 ppm Ni, 1.07% Cu, 120ppm Pb, 0.24% Cr, 830ppm Zn.
