Razorback West
-
Fault offset, northern extension of the Broken Hill mine corridor
-
Same geology as Broken Hill under veneer of alluvial cover
-
Large untested geochemical and geophysical anomalies

Razorback West Drilling
-
Drilling underway
-
Holes “A” and “B” test combined geochemical and geophysical anomalies
-
Holes “C” tests favourable part of Broken Hill rock sequence “the Hores Gneiss”
Razorback West Drilling
==> picture [407 x 450] intentionally omitted <==
-
Existing holes host elevated zinc, lead and manganese
-
EM conductor lies beneath zones of geochemically anomalous rock
-
EM interpreted to be 120 metres below surface
Razorback West
==> picture [370 x 411] intentionally omitted <==
Conceptual cross-section through Razorback West shows
-
A surface zinc anomaly in shallow RAB drilling
-
Anomalous zinc in shallow reverse circulation drill holes
-
The location of an
-
electromagnetic conductor in relation to the zinc anomalism
-
A conceptual, zinc-rich massive sulphide body at 120 – 150 metres below the surface; the geophysics suggests this depth
-
SCI drill holes intersected the anomalous envelope, but not deep enough to test EM anomaly
-
Deeper drilling required

Lithium
-
1200 square kilometres tenure
-
100 square kilometres of outcropping pegmatite
-
Euriowie & Kantappa tin fields host lithium minerals
-
Prior to Silver City work no lithium exploration undertaken

Pegmatite Sam les p
-
Lithium and associated indicator elements (Rb, Cs, Sn, Ta, Be, Ga, Tl, P) elevated and anomalous within Waukeroo tin field
-
Located in low grade metamorphic rocks

Pegmatite Samples
-
Lead-Silver-Zinc associated with old mines and Hores Gneiss
-
Located in high to very high grade metamorphic rocks
-
New Lead-Silver-Zinc anomalies recognised and as yet unexplained

Conclusions
Broken Hill
-
Large focused land tenure position
-
Potential for high grade giant base metal and silver-rich orebodies
-
Focus on Razorback , Stephens Trig and Balaclava
-
New base metal-silver anomalies from pegmatites
-
Lithium still an unknown; geological setting defined
-
Cobar
-
Producing mining district
-
Wilga Downs; excellent geological setting, untested geophysical anomalies : Copper-Gold target.
Near Future News Flow
