Completed drilling

IGLOO Cu-Au-Ag PROSPECT

Six RC drill holes were completed at this prospect in January for a total of 750m. Strong gold mineralization was encountered in several drill holes below the known copper mineralization, and the results for 4m composites are tabulated below. The assays were by Genalysis using the A/OES method for Ag and the FA25 method for Au.

These and other gold intersections at Igloo will be modeled as a potential gold resource underneath the Cu-Au-Ag mineralization previously announced.

EMPEROR LEAD-ZINC PROSPECT

Six RC holes were drilled at Emperor to try to extend the known mineralization. Four of these holes intersected zinc mineralization at various depths from 68m to 250m as shown in the table below. The samples are 4m composites, the assays were by Genalysis using the A/OES method for Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ag, and the FA25 method for Au.

Emperor Prospect

mineralization at end of hole

Vulcan 3D modeling of recent and historic drilling results has indicated substantial continuity of mineralization at Emperor.

Gravity survey

A ground gravity survey has now been completed for the tenement area. The data shows a moderately high gravity anomaly in the north east of the area at Emperor with increasing gravity response south westwards towards Imperial, where the gravity anomaly is a prominent high. This gravity anomalism may reflect an increasing sulphide content from northeast to southwest.

Current drilling program

A new program consisting of about 3000m of RC drilling is now underway mainly targeting the zone which extends southwestwards from Emperor over a distance of about 1.5 km. This zone of Zn-Pb anomalism was identified by previous explorers from soil sampling surveys but has never been drilled. A recent survey has revealed prominent gravity anomalies coincident with the most geochemically anomalous areas, substantiating these as important drilling targets.

In the current program:

  • the known mineralization at Emperor will be further tested by RC drilling which should enable the estimation of a preliminary Zn-Pb-Au-Ag resource
  • Modelling shows that the mineralization drilled at Emperor is open to the south west. The well-defined Zn-Pb geochemical anomaly containing Emperor continues south westwards for at least 500m and will be tested by about 5 RC drill holes.
  • At the Imperial Prospect another large, well-defined Zn-Pb soil anomaly and a gossan $\bullet$ outcrop with reported values of 0.5% Zn and 2.9% Pb will also be drilled. This prospect gave the highest gravity response in the recent gravity survey.
  • An RC drill hole which was previously terminated at 232m will be extended to a depth of about 350m to try to intersect a conductive horizon interpreted as the source of an EM conductance anomaly.

The current drilling program is expected to be completed at the end of April and the first assays are expected in mid May.

NEW SOUTH WALES

Gulf Creek (Graynic 100%)

Gulf Creek is a historic copper mining area north of Tamworth in NSW which has not been subject to modern exploration. The copper was mined from three well-defined sulphide lodes which averaged between 2% and 6% Cu. There was also a significant amount of zinc in some of these lodes which was not of interest to the miners at that time but which now would be a significant credit.

A heritage and cultural survey has recently been completed at Gulf Creek to enable access for exploration, and a report is expected later this month. Once clearance is obtained a drilling program will be implemented to test the copper lodes.

Wertago (Gravnic 100%)

This base metal project encompasses the Nutherangie Silver Fields and Wertago Copper Field adjacent to the Koonenberry Fault. Historic drilling has intersected up to 2m @ 4.6% Cu below some of the old workings and also 12.2m @ 4.6 g/t Au with no follow up. The target is a Cu-Zn-Au-Ag deposit adjacent to the large fault, which could have acted as a conduit for metal-bearing fluids.

Interpretation of the EM survey has been completed and there are a number of EM conductors and magnetic anomalies to be followed up. Field work is planned during the next quarter to identify suitable drilling targets for early drilling.

Yanco Glen (Graynic 100%, excluding rights to tin and tungsten)

The Yanco Glen project consists of a large exploration licence which has potential for tungsten, tin, gold and base metals. Graynic recently transferred its interest in the tin and tungsten potential of this exploration licence to Wolf Minerals Limited for a consideration of 2 million Wolf shares. Wolf has recently commenced an RC drilling program to further test the tin and tungsten potential within this tenement.
