Annual General Meeting Tuesday 25 November 2014
Managing Director’s Presentation
12 Months Summary
-
Drilling on Moonta Project discovers the Six Ways and Blue Tongue zones, and increases the strike of the Bruce Zone at Alford West. Mineral system dimensions expanded.
-
Also at Moonta, FPXRF soil geochemistry defines highly regarded Tomahawk anomaly while on-going capture of historical data adds West Doora and other prospects to pipeline of future targets.
-
Definition of large epithermal gold target at South West Limey Dam and $100,000 co-funding for drilling significantly advances Drummond Project.
-
Recently announced Thurlga Joint Venture (with Investigator Resources Limited) sees recommencement of exploration on the Eyre Peninsula Project.

Ore shoot significance in Moonta-Wallaroo district
Historic deposits typified by steeply plunging ore shoots – likely to be repeated in new discoveries
Long Section of the Wallaroo Mine (at Kadina) in 1917
- Historic records confirm steeply plunging ore shoots are the norm in the MoontaWallaroo district
==> picture [416 x 308] intentionally omitted <==
-
Mineralisation is likely to persist to significant depths down plunge
-
Deposits have a good chance of commencing at shallow depths
-
Allows cost efficient discovery using geochemistry and aircore drilling
Adelaide’s goal on the Moonta Copper Gold Project
The Company recognises that potentially economic deposits can display a significant range of tonnage, grade and other parameters. None the less, for guidance, we believe that deposits of approximately 50 million tonnes grading about 1% copper equivalent, or deposits of about 20 million tonnes grading about 2% copper equivalent, are likely to constitute resources warranting development, and our goal is to establish such a resource position on the Moonta Project.

Epithermal Systems
-
Form during periods of active
-
volcanism associated with subduction of tectonic plates
-
Metals deposited in quartz/silica veins at relatively shallow depths below the surface from hot volcanic fluids
-
Bonanza gold grades (Pajingo resource in 2000 was ~4MT at 15g/t gold)
-
Fluids vent on surface as hot springs and geysers, depositing sinter terraces
-
Active volcanic areas are typically high relief, erosion rates are high, and many deposits eroded soon after formation
-
Steep physical and chemical gradients in epithermal deposits result in distinctive vertical zonation in metals and vein textures
