The mineral tenements of the Company as described in this presentation are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high-risk undertakings.
-
There can be no assurance that exploration of the Tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.

Palace IOCG Project
Potential exists in the district for:
-
IOCG magnetite and/or hematite breccia style mineralisation
-
IOCG related skarn style mineralisation
Critical geological factors to constrain exploration:
-
Presence of Hiltaba Suite aged granites and mafic intrusives
-
Major structural features active at time of Hiltaba Suite emplacement
-
Evidence of widespread iron metasomatism (enhanced regional magnetic signature)
-
Evidence of structural control on iron alteration systems

Upcoming work
Further Infill Gravity
- Aim is to cover all semi coincident magnetic gravity features with 250 m x 250 m gravity stations, late December 2011
Phase 2 Deep RC Drilling Program
-
20 holes at an average of 200m deep (100m into basement)
-
4000m in total
-
Aim to test 7-8 targets which were untested in Phase 1
-
Start late January 2012
Airborne Electromagnetics
As part of the PACE Targeting 2011 Initiative, Core Exploration was awarded a $50 000 grant to undertake a detailed airborne electromagnetic survey over the Palace IOCG Project
==> picture [209 x 299] intentionally omitted <==
AEM Survey is underway now on the Yorke Peninsula Survey Specifications 375 line km 200m line spacing East-west orientation

AEM as a IOCG exploration tool
-
While magnetics and gravity are good ways to target the mineral system on a larger scale (the area of magnetite and/or hematite enrichment) AEM has the ability to target conductive sulphides and therefore mineralisation directly.
-
Interconnectivity of conductive minerals required to generate EM anomaly.
-
Typically, graphite, pyrite and or pyrrhotite are responsible for the observed bedrock AEM responses however massive magnetite in veins and replacement bodies can also be detected.
Airborne Electromagnetics
==> picture [209 x 298] intentionally omitted <==
-
The ore mineral assemblage of higher temperature IOCG systems on the Yorke Peninsula is dominated by magnetite-pyrite-chalcopyrite.
-
Interconnectivity of these minerals should produce conductors able to be identified by the AEM survey
-
Conductive targets can be concealed by other geological conductors, "geological noise", such as:
-
lateral variations in conductive overburden.
-
graphitic bands in metamorphosed country rock.
-
altered (to clay facies) mafic-ultramaific rocks.
-
• faults and shear-zones carrying appreciable saline groundwater and/or clay gouge.
-
magnetite bands in serpentinised ultramafics.
