sandstones. Overall brecciation and iron content is increasing down-hole with abundant steely/specular hematite veining and associated minor pyrite within the bottom 20m of the drill core. Specific gravity (density) measurements have been undertaken over the full depth of the hole and these measurements support the original geophysical model of a large mass of elevated density at a depth of approximately 650m below surface.

Welbourn Hill is a large high order coincident gravity/ magnetic anomaly situated along the northern margins of the Gawler Craton, approximately 45km east NSW of the township of Marla SA. The company is currently drilling the first of two deep diamond drill holes to test this exciting target. As at the 5.00pm on Thursday 3rd TAS April 2008 the first hole, EWHD01,

The Company believes that the information returned from the drilling to-date continues to support the potential for Welbourn Hill to host a significant body of IOCGU mineralisation. Drilling is continuing on a two shift basis and at the current penetration rates the first hole should intersect the target depth within the next 3-5 days.
had reached a depth of 612m and is continuing towards the interpreted top of the gravity anomaly at approximately 650m. Drilling progress has been considerably slower than anticipated due to a combination of overall drill-rig performance and the intersection of a number of particularly hard sandstone horizons.

Logging of the drill core, from the base of the pre-collar (at 200m) to the current bottom of hole, indicates that the gravity target is overlain by a sequence of brecciated, iron rich, siltstones and lesser
