– Yalbra Graphite Project Gascoyne Region
During November, the Company completed a 15 hole RC drilling program for 1,689 metres at the Yalbra Graphite Project.
Drilling within the Main Zone intersected substantial widths of graphite mineralisation visually consistent with historical results. A new area of graphite mineralisation was discovered at the Northern Zone by drilling a significant VTEM conductor Drilling results will be reported as they become available.
The Company is excited by the potential for Yalbra to host a significant graphite resource once more drilling has been completed.
Significant investment interest in the project has been received from several overseas parties. Discussions are continuing.
Zanthus – Fraser Range
The Company has planned a 3,000m RC drill program to test up to 20 conductors, some with nearby calcrete geochemical anomalies, defined in the recent ground EM survey for Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation.
Heritage clearances have been received, whilst POW clearances are pending. This program is planned to begin early in the first quarter of calendar 2014.
– Dempster Project Albany Fraser Orogen
Buxton has acquired a significant ground position now totaling 1,365km[2] that is prospective for magmatic nickel-copper and separately orogenic gold deposits at Dempster within the Albany Fraser Orogen (Figure 1). This project straddles the interpreted boundary of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton and the Proterozoic Albany Fraser Orogen and has a similar tectonic position to the Tropicana Gold Deposit.
In addition, historical work at the Dempster Project has identified significant nickel surface calcrete anomalies. One of these, the Prickle prospect, was drilled historically and shown to be underlain by a mafic-ultramafic rock package including gabbros and dunites. Peak results were 0.25% Ni and 348ppm Cu at the base of a RAB hole.
Historical BHP drilling also intersected 1m @ 0.7 ppm Au at the base of a RAB drill hole.
Recent work by other exploration companies in the area has defined a number of high quality Ni-Cu sulphide targets immediately along strike from Buxton’s tenements. The Company is excited about the potential at Dempster and intends to ramp up its exploration efforts in this area in 2014.

Widowmaker – Fraser Range
A calcrete sampling program was completed at Widowmaker to follow up a significant area of very strong multi-metal anomalism along a regional shear zone. The metal association over this anomaly variably includes Ni-Cu-Co-Cr-As. The broad anomaly is in the order of 3km long, whilst a central core zone has a strike length of approximately 700m (Figure 2).
The sampling program conducted nominally at 400m x 200m spacing also identified a number of other weaker multi-metal anomalies which will require infill sampling in the future. Peak results at the main calcrete anomaly were: 143ppm Ni, 115ppm Cu, 25ppm Co, 1,130 ppm Cr & 137ppm As. Statistics of the Widomaker calcrete sampling program are listed in Table 1 below.
