Project Background

Taylor Lookout Project (E80/5066) is in the Kimberley region, the Company applied this tenement in 2017 as part of a group of tenements interpreted to be prospective for base metals, tungsten and gold mineralisation. The tenement was granted on 18th July 2018.The project is located approximately 80 km southwest of Halls Creek town in the Kimberley region, WA (Figure 1). The project comprises 11 blocks or about 35.6 km[2 ] area.

Figure 1. Location Map Taylor Lookout Project

The project is situated within the Eastern Zone of the Lamboo Complex and comprises metasediments and meta igneous rocks of the Halls Creek Group underlain by the older Sophie Downs Suite of granitoids and metavolcanics. The San Sou Monzogranite is a younger intrusion along the hinge of the dominant structure of the tenement, the Taylor Lookout Anticline. At a local scale, the dominant geological feature of the lease is the Taylor Lookout anticline which is a regionally significant fault that has thrust metavolcanics and granites onto sandstones of the Olympio Formation. Numerous occurrences of base metals and tungsten have been recorded in the project area. DMIRS Minedex shows 20 different occurrences for different commodities reported previously

from the project (Figure.2).

Figure 2: Taylor Lookout geology and mineral occurrences.

Previous explorers have identified scheelite at surface grading up to 2%W within calcareous metasediments, supporting the potential for skarn-hosted mineralisation. There has been no significant drilltesting of these anomalies to date. In addition, a number of other surface anomalies have been identified, including for copper and gold, which require more detailed follow-up. The field traversing completed so far, in the parts of the northern limb target, has confirmed the presence of the Skarn lithologies along with Scheelite and copper (Malachite) mineralisation.
