-
Illaara Greenstone Belt extends for 75km along a north-south strike length:
-
Neoarchean to Mesoarchean aged greenstone belt comprised of significant quartzite and quartz-rich metasedimentary sequences
-
Metamorphic grade of the greenstone belt is of greenschist facies in the core, increasing to amphibolite facies on the margins
-
Minor historical line of shallow workings at Metzke’s Find with gold mineralisation hosted by quartz veining, striking parallel to the regional foliation within a mafic sequence
-
Historical trench at Lawrence’s Find with mineralisation associated with acid porphyries

Project Background
-
Early 2000s: Illaara held by iron ore explorers (limited gold exploration)
-
GSWA Survey generates a ~55km long Au-As-Sb anomaly from regional regolith sampling:
-
Under-explored, upper greenschist to lower amphibolite facies greenstone belt with good potential host rocks (BIF, mafic volcanics, gabbroic intrusions)
-
Prospective regional geochemical signatures
-
Previous explorers identified zones of anomalous Au and pathfinder elements
-
2015-16: Newmont Goldcorp pegs Illaara and completes proprietary surface geochemical surveys and regolith mapping - identifies 4 large gold anomalies and 1 VMS target
-
2017: Heritage surveys clear 33kms of drill lines over major gold anomaly with strong pathfinders over a blind intrusion at a major structural intersection
