Lake Roe Project - Au (100% CAV)
The Lake Roe Project, comprises of two exploration licenses (E28/2303 and E28/2304) located 120km ENE of Kalgoorlie. The two tenements cover a sequence of deformed Archean greenstone belt within the Southern Laverton Tectonic Zone (SLTZ) and are considered prospective for gold mineralisation.
The Southern Laverton Tectonic Zone is host to a number of large gold deposits with the Lake Roe Project area centred between Carosue Dam (3.5Moz), located approximately 40km to the north, and Karonie (0.9Moz), approximately 50km to the south. These deposits are associated with the major Keith-Kilkenny and Claypan Shears, which represent two major tectonic shear zones that converge near the Lake Roe region.
During the quarter, the Company completed the maiden Lake Roe RC drilling programme which consisted of 12 holes for a total advance of 1,360m. The programme targeted the northwest southeast trending Stag Shear Zone where previous vertical RAB and aircore drilling located on 200m spaced drill traverses intersected a series of anomalous zones over a total strike length of over 600m (Figure 1). Limited historic follow-up RC and diamond drilling comprised of 2 RC and 2 diamond holes. (refer ASX announcement dated 13 December 2016).
An additional zone of anomalous supergene gold, termed the Triumph Trend (Figure 1), was also defined to the east of the Stag Shear Zone closer to the granite intrusion to the east. This anomalous zone is parallel to the Stag Shear, also trending southeast northwest, with no previous follow-up drilling undertaken along this target.
Stag Shear Zone Target
The Stag Shear Zone is a second order southeast northwest trending structure off the major north south trending first order Claypan Shear, that hosts Breaker’s Bombora Prospect. The structure is highlighted in airborne magnetics and coincident with anomalous gold (>50ppb) over a >600m strike length as defined by anomalous gold in earlier vertical reconnaissance RAB and aircore drilling, nominally spaced on traverses 200m apart with holes 50m apart.
Results of the recent RC drilling showed the area is blanketed by 30-40m of barren and unconsolidated transported sediments and lateritic gravels followed by deep saprolite clays to approximately 70-80m depth and then partially weathered and fresh basement rocks. This deeply weathered nature and thick transported barren overburden compounds the difficulties in exploring and targeting the mineralised structures.
The gold mineralisation was confirmed and is hosted in partially weathered, sheared and foliated sericitechlorite schist with minor thin quartz and carbonate rich veining. This shearing is interpreted to represent the Stag Shear Zone.
The results of drill hole SRC003 confirmed the shear hosted mineralisation with
11m @ 2.39g/t from 108m
including 1m @ 20.8g/t from 112m
and 1m @ 1.32g/t from 117m.

The shear zone is also now interpreted to be sub-vertical in orientation and remains open at depth below the zone of depletion evident in the deepest drilling to date.
Triumph Trend
The northwest southeast trending Triumph Trend is a parallel trend/structure to the Stag Shear (Figure 1) and is defined by a structure in magnetic imagery and to a lesser extent by anomalous results in earlier reconnaissance RAB and aircore drilling.
The trend was tested with two lines of RC drilling. Drilling intersected significant supergene gold mineralisation in the weathering saprock just prior to the fresh bedrock interface in hole SRC011.
SRC011 7m @ 0.52g/t from 95m
including 1m @ 1.55g/t from 98m

This mineralisation is considered to be remobilised in the weathered bedrock and currently the actual Triumph structure remains untested in the fresh bedrock. At the northern end of this trend, two drill holes failed to reach target depth due to difficult drilling conditions through the transported sediments and therefore the structure remains untested at this location.
Future Programmes
Carnavale is currently assessing various geophysical techniques that may aid targeting of the structures prior to committing to further drilling.
Business Development
The Company continues to assess various opportunities in the resource sector. A number of resource projects were reviewed during the period, with selected reviews continuing.
Corporate
The Company had a cash position of $930,000 as at 31 December 2016.
The Annual General Meeting was held on the 24 November 2016 where all resolutions were approved.
