Tennant Creek gold-copper project

1. Edna Beryl

The second drill campaign at Edna Beryl aimed to extend the shallow high grade gold within the Edna Beryl Main and South ironstones plus test the depth potential of the recently intersected, Edna Beryl Deeps ironstone. Based on the previous drilling, a new geological interpretation suggests thickening and coalescing of the shallow ironstones with depth. This opens up the potential for deeper primary gold mineralisation associated with hematite ironstone and alteration and adds to the known mineralisation at Edna Beryl South, Main and also within the “small mines” Tribute Agreement (fig 2).

Note the Edna Beryl East “small mines” Tribute Agreement (ASX: 11 August 2015) relates to a tightly defined 3D rock volume around the immediate historic drill holes and mine area (figure 2: yellow Panel 5) – anything discovered outside of this envelope remains 100% Emmerson, and is at the discretion of ERM and EVN as to whether it becomes part of the “small mines” agreement. Pleasingly, the Exploration Mine Management Plan for Edna Beryl East has now been approved by the NT Department of Mines, allowing development to proceed and if required, the establishment of underground drill platforms.

2. Susan & Retsina

A new geological interpretation and remodelling of the magnetic geophysics at Susan suggest untested potential (figure 3). Both for high grade gold in the oxide zone below the historical Susan Mine and also for primary gold associated with magnetite ironstones, some 200m deeper within the Susan syncline – this deeper target is to be tested with a diamond drill hole.

In contrast, Retsina (figure 1) is a new regional greenfields target in a similar structural setting to Edna Beryl but with very limited outcrop. Of interest is the presence of brecciated hematite ironstone at surface which returned a “near ore” geochemical signature –whilst it is early days in terms of testing the efficacy of this proprietary discriminant analysis, the data so far indicates the potential to distinguish barren from gold fertile hematite ironstones. If successful, this technique will greatly increase our success rate in discovering a new generation of hematite hosted gold deposits.

3. Small Mines & Chariot Mine Strategy

Emmerson and partner, Evolution are pleased to announce the continuation of permitting and approvals for the pipeline of small mines and the Chariot gold mine to commence in parallel with the current, first of the “small mines” at Edna Beryl.

Emmerson has commenced negotiations with the Edna Beryl Mining Company (EBMC) to continue the mining of the high-grade gold mineralisation from a select number of additional small mines and the Chariot Mine in parallel with the current Edna Beryl operation under a similar arrangement to the Edna Beryl “Tribute Agreement”.

This further, “Small Mines & Chariot Mine Tribute Agreement”, will increase the volume and value and has a number of advantages for Emmerson:

  • A risk-free, near term income stream from its non-core assets via a royalty agreement (until EVN completes its earn-in, ERM receives 100% of its share flowing from this agreement).

  • Future access to refurbished underground workings for near mine exploration.

  • The opportunity to monetise a pipeline of other non-core assets within Emmerson’s extensive tenement holdings.

4. December Quarter Activities

The following activities are planned for the December quarter:

  • Completion of the current 8,000m drilling campaign at Edna Beryl, Susan and Retsina.

  • Interpretation and modelling of assay results from the current drilling campaign aimed to generate further target areas for drill testing.

  • Commencement of Tribute Mining at Edna Beryl.

  • Continuation of the permitting and approval process for additional small mines and the high grade Chariot Gold Mine.

Emmerson Managing Director, Mr Rob Bills commented, “ our recent Joint Venture meeting with Evolution in Tennant Creek has approved a very aggressive drill program at Edna Beryl in recognition of the significance of the previous high grade drill intercepts. A revised geological interpretation based on this drilling indicates both potential for further bonanza gold grades in the oxide zone within individual ore shoots, and also the likelihood that these shallow ore zones coalesce into a larger primary gold zone associated with hematite ironstone at depth.

This exploration is fully funded by our partner, Evolution Mining and constitutes part of the $15m earn-in phase of the Joint Venture.”

New South Wales gold-copper projects

1. Kadungle Project

Emmerson Resources Limited (ASX: ERM) is pleased to announce a 12 month Option over Aurelia Metals (ASX: AMI), Kadungle project in NSW (figure 4). Historical drilling has demonstrated the potential of this project for high level gold-silver and deeper, copper-gold mineralisation (fig 5 & table 3). The minimum spend during this period is $100,000 and will be directed at reprocessing existing data ahead of drilling. Should this work be successful, a farm-in and Joint Venture will follow on terms where Emmerson have the right to earn up to an 80% interest through expenditures of a further $500,000.

The Kadungle project is situated adjacent to Emmerson’s Fifield project (figure 4) and ranks as one of the strategic alliance’s top ten targets within the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW and Eastern Succession of QLD.

==> picture [595 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Work by Aurelia indicates the alkaline volcanics at Kadungle are younger, rifted equivalents of the late Ordovician shoshonitic volcanics that host the North Parkes porphyry copper-gold deposits. These volcanics contain minor historic gold and base metal workings, with drilling at the Mt Leadley prospect intersecting epithermal Au-Ag-Cu veins (e.g. KRC019 & KDD002), disseminated Cu-Mo coincident with a breccia unit, and quartz – chalcopyrite veins associated with monzodiorite intrusives (e.g.KDD013) (figure 5).

The future program is yet to be finalised but will consist of reprocessing the geophysical datasets, field and drill core assessment ahead of drilling, anticipated in late 2016

2. New Projects

One of the challenges of exploring in NSW is the presence of younger cover sequences obscuring the prospective host rocks and, rendering traditional targeting for the next big mineral discovery obsolete. Emmerson entered into a strategic alliance with Kenex Limited (ASX: August 2015) with the specific objective of developing tools to predict new high quality gold and copper deposits beneath such cover and within the prospective geological belts of NSW and QLD.

Kenex is a highly regarded project generation company at the forefront of developing 2D and 3D predictive models from multiple datasets (big data), that aim to statistically improve the probability of discovery. In a “blind test” of this approach, the porphyry copper-gold models for NSW identified 56moz of gold from the total known gold endowment (includes production) of 59mozs. Similarly the epithermal gold model identified 6mozs from a total known endowment of 7mozs of gold.

The first four of the strategic alliance top ten targets occur near Wellington, Parkes, Temora and Fifield (figure 4), collectively constituting some 768km[2] in area. These targets are highly prospective for both epithermal gold-silver and porphyry copper-gold – and share many of the attributes that are present in the known, larger gold and copper-gold deposits within the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW (e.g. Cadia, Ridgeway and Cowal).

Data compilation has now been completed on the Wellington and Temora targets where historical exploration has confirmed their prospectivity. The next step of exploration is underway and will include collecting high resolution aeromagnetics to better pinpoint specific areas for ground based exploration.

Emmerson Managing Director, Mr Rob Bills commented, “the first batch of targets from the strategic alliance with Kenex are underpinned by a very rigorous process of identifying the key elements that pinpoint world class mineralisation in the Lachlan Fold Belt. Kenex are experts in this field, having produced similar products in over 20 countries/regions around the world including in Oman (for VMS mineralisation), New Zealand (epithermal gold), the Tampia gold deposit in Western Australia and more locally, at our Tennant Creek Project in the Northern Territory.

Thus we are confident that this innovative approach and investment in area selection will produce high quality projects and eventually mines. Further targets, both on open and held ground are currently being assessed. We have commenced the first phase of exploration over the granted targets and already received interest from a number of larger companies that see the potential of this innovative approach. “

Kenex’s Managing Director, Dr Greg Partington added: “For Kenex, this strategic alliance goes a long way to meeting the goals and ambitions that we set ourselves as a company over the last few years. The prospectivity and targeting we have been developing is a much undervalued process and will deliver industry leading advantages to the alliance. We have long believed in this approach for our own business, and it is in no small part the result of developing and maintaining our own dedicated and skilled technical team. Coupling this with the capability of the highly regarded Emmerson exploration team provides an exciting future for both companies.”

About Tennant Creek and Emmerson Resources

The Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF) is one of Australia’s highest grade gold and copper fields producing over 5.5 Mozs of gold and 470,000 tonnes of copper from a variety of deposits including Gecko, Orlando, Warrego, White Devil, Chariot and Golden Forty, all of which are within Emmerson Resources (ASX: ERM) exploration and joint venture portfolio. These deposits are considered to be highly valuable exploration targets and, utilising modern exploration techniques, Emmerson has been successful in discovering copper and gold mineralisation at Goanna and Monitor in late 2011, the first discoveries in the TCMF for over a decade. To date, Emmerson has only covered 5.5% of the total tenement package (in area) with these innovative exploration techniques and is confident that, with further exploration, more such discoveries will be made.

5

==> picture [596 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

Emmerson holds 2,500km[2] of ground in the TCMF, owns the only gold mill in the region and holds a substantial geological database plus extensive infrastructure and equipment. Emmerson has consolidated 95% of the highly prospective TCMF where only 8% of the historical drilling has penetrated below 150m.

Emmerson is led by a board and management group of experienced Australian mining executives including former MIM and WMC mining executive Andrew McIlwain as non-executive chairman, and former senior BHP Billiton and WMC executive Rob Bills as Managing Director and CEO.

Pursuant to the Farm-in agreement entered into with Evolution Mining Limited (Evolution) on 11 June 2014, Evolution is continuing to sole fund exploration expenditure of $15 million over three years to earn a 65% interest (Stage 1 Farm-in) in Emmerson’s tenement holdings in the TCMF. An option to spend a further $10 million minimum, sole funded by Evolution over two years following the Stage 1 Farm-in, would enable Evolution to earn an additional 10% (Stage 2 Farm-in) of the tenement holdings. Emmerson is acting as manager during the Stage 1 Farm-in and is receiving a management fee during this period. Exploration expenditure attributable to the Stage 1 Farm-in to date is approximately $10.4 million.

About Evolution Mining (ASX: EVN)

Evolution Mining is a leading, growth-focussed Australian gold miner. Evolution operates six wholly-owned mines – Cowal in New South Wales; Mt Carlton, Mt Rawdon, and Cracow, in Queensland; and Mungari and Edna May in Western Australia. On 24 August 2016, Evolution announced that it was acquiring an economic interest in the Ernest Henry copper-gold operations in Queensland.

In FY16 Evolution produced 803,476 ounces of gold at an AISC of A$1,014 per ounce generating a net mine cash flow of A$428.2 million.

Assuming completion of the acquisition of an economic interest in Ernest Henry, Evolution has revised FY17 Group gold production guidance to 800,000 – 860,000 ounces at an AISC of A$900 – A$960 per ounce.

About Edna Beryl Mineralisation

Edna Beryl was discovered by prospectors in 1935 and mined underground in the 1940s and 1950s to a maximum depth of approximately 50 metres. Production up until 1952 was reportedly 2,700t of ore at an exceptional grade of 53g/t gold.

More recent exploration in the Edna Beryl area between1996 and 2000 by Giants Reef Mining (GRM) outlined additional high-grade gold mineralisation below the historic workings and resulted in an estimate being reported in 1998 by independent consultants in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC: 1998). While this estimate does not meet the minimum reporting requirements for a Mineral Resource under the current 2012 JORC Code, Emmerson considers the Edna Beryl mineralisation to constitute an Exploration Target of 5,000t to 10,000t at 20 to 30 g/t gold, however cautions that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

About Kenex

Kenex is a Wellington and West Australian based company which was established in 2002 to provide GIS and exploration services and advice for the exploration and mining industries in Australia and New Zealand. Over the last 10 years, Kenex have broadened their international experience through involvement with projects and clients in the Middle East, Africa, Scandinavia, Asia-Pacific and Latin America.

==> picture [595 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Kenex specialise in predictive modelling for minerals (2D and 3D) where it is at the forefront of providing these services to businesses to generate targets with the greatest geological potential in relation to the mineral system being evaluated. This delivers to our client’s outcomes which can be used for a variety of purposes including regional evaluation of a mineral belt, identification of opportunities for acquisition, the tools for effective exploration work programme planning and in the case of predictive 3D modelling, drill hole targeting.

Under the alliance, Emmerson will hold the exclusive rights to any new targets identified for a period of 12 months and may, through a modest payment to Kenex, acquire full exclusivity. Kenex can earn up to a 10% interest in any tenements acquired as part of the alliance upon achieving certain predetermined milestones, with exploration costs shared proportionally.

About Aurelia (ASX: AMI)

Aurelia Metals became a gold producer in 2014 and its flagship asset is the high-grade Hera gold-lead-zinc-silver mine in central NSW.

In FY 2016, the Hera mine produced 46,882 ounces of gold and 25,406 tonnes of lead-zinc concentrates from the processing of 308,118 tonnes of ore.

The Company is pursuing significant further improvements in the Hera operation including improved metal recoveries, increased throughput and operating cost reductions. Aurelia is also pursuing a near mine exploration programme, with a strong view on the capacity for Hera to evolve into a large scale, high-grade ‘Cobar style’ deposit.

Aurelia is also actively evaluating the evolving copper deposit at Nymagee with the potential that the Nymagee mineralisation may evolve into another ‘Cobar Giant’ similar to the world class CSA copper deposit located approximately 100km north-west along strike.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA – EDNA BERYL EXPLORATION TARGET

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips,
or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In
other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
• Drill holes (EBWRC001-004) were reported
ASX: 19/05/2016.
• Drill
holes
reported
in
this
release
(EBWRC005-030) were drilled during the
period from 5/06/2016 – 25/06/2016 and
reported ASX: 02/08/2016.
• Drilling targeted ironstone both to the east
and to the west of the known Edna Beryl
mineralisation plus confirmation of historical
gold intersections within the Edna Beryl
Deeps area (Panel 3).
• Holes were angled to optimally test the
interpreted shear zone). Drill holes have
been drilled at an angle between 60 – 67
degrees).
• The Edna Beryl Exploration Target has been
historically sampled using RAB, Reverse
Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD)
techniques. 24 RAB holes for 1,140m, 29
RC/Percussion holes for 2,534m and 26
Diamond holes for 4,678.2m have been
completed. The drill hole spacing is nominal
10m x 10m grid spacing. In areas of
mineralisation spacing has been reduced to
5m x 5m. Holes have been angled to
optimally test the host shear zone. Typically,
most drill holes have been drilled towards the
North at angles (dip) between 45 to 70
degrees from surface.
• EBWRC005-030RC chips are riffle split on
site to obtain 3m composite samples from
which 2.5–3.0kg sample was pulverised (at
Genalysis in Alice Springs) to produce a 25g
charge for analysis by Aqua Regia digestion /
ICP-MS/OES (Au, Ag, Bi, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn,
Mo, U, Se, Sb).
• Individual 1m (re-split) samples are retained
on the drill site. Anomalous zones were
individually assayed (re-splits) once 3m
composite results are returned.
• Individual 1m samples are pulverised to
produce a 25g charge for analysis by four
acid digest with an ICP/OES (Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn)
ICP/MS (Ag, Bi, Mo, Sb,) & Fire Assay/AAS
(Au) finish.
• RC samples were collected via a fixed cone
splitter that is mounted to the drill rig under a
1200 cfm cyclone.

The fixed cone splitter has three sample
chutes for comparative sampling, 2 chutes
are synchronised for comparative samples
and 1 Chute is independently set for the
geologists field samples.
• Air Leg samples (ASX:16 Mar 2016) were
collected from the floor of the refurbished
cross cut drive at Edna Beryl to a final depth
of 1.83m or 6 foot.
• Air Leg samples were collected from
approximately 53m below surface level.
• Samples consisted of powdered (dust) and
largerchips of redhematiteironstone.

• Total metres drilled are 3,885m. The
shallowest hole was 66m and deepest was
252m).
• The average drill hole length was 149m.
• RC drilling utilizes a 53/4inch, face sampling
bit.
• RAB, RC and Diamond drilling accounts for
100% of the current drilling at theEdna Beryl
Exploration Target.
• RC recoveries are logged and recorded in
the database and for this program were
considered excellent.
• Standard inner tube has been used.
• Three vertical air leg holes were spaced at
1m x 1m and drilled to a final depth of 1.83m
(ASX:16 Mar 2016).
• The diameter of the air leg drill steel outside
diameter is 30mm.
• Two samples were collected from each drill
hole.
• The first sample was collected from the
surface of the drive floor to a distance of
1.22m or 4 foot.
• The 1.22m hole was then blown out and
cleaned via the air leg to ensure minimal
contamination.
• The second sample was then collected from
1.22 to a final depth of 1.83m or 6 foot.
• Allthreeholeswere drilled thisway.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• RC samples are visually checked for
recovery, moisture and contamination. No
issues were encountered.
• If any issues or concerns are raised they are
discussed at the time with the drilling
contractor and also recorded in our database
and drilling diary.
• Recoveries are considered good to excellent
for the reported RC drilling.
• RC samples are collected via a fixed cone
splitter that is mounted to the drill rig under a
1200cfm cyclone.
• The cyclone and splitter are routinely
cleaned with more attention spent during the
drilling of damp or wet samples.
• There were no “wet samples” during this
program.
• Emmerson consider that there is evidence for
sample bias that may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Visible (course) gold is identified in sections
of historical diamond core so caution is
required.
• Air leg drill sample was collected as dust and
chips were returned to the surface of the
cross cut drive.

geological characteristics of the current drill
hole.
• Insertion of assay blanks is increased when
visual mineralisation is encountered and
consists of insertion above and below the
mineralised zone.
• RC field duplicates are collected on the 3m
composites samples, using a riffle splitter.
• Individual 1m RC sample duplicates (re-
splits) are also collected using the same
technique.
• Laboratory checks include CRM’s and/or in-

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.







Exploration drilling is at a high angle to the
mineralized bodies and/or shear zone.
Exploration drilling is perpendicular to
mineralized bodies or shear zone.
No orientation based sampling bias has been
identified in the data at this point.
It is considered that the recent RC drilling
(EBWRC005-EBWRC030) is representative
and that no sample bias has been
introduced.
Results at this stage suggest that the
geological targets being tested have been
drilled in the correct orientation.
The 3 air leg holes were drilled vertically into
the floor of the cross cut drive.
Samples ended in ironstone material.
It is considered that the vertical drilling is
representative and that no sample bias has
been introduced.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.





Samples from EBWRC005 – 030 were
selected, bagged and labelled by site
geologist and field assistants.
They are placed in sealed polyweave bags
and then larger bulka bags for transport to
the assay laboratory.
The assay laboratory confirms that all
samples have been received and that no
damage has occurred during transport.
Tracking is available through the internet and
designed by the Laboratory for ERM to track
the progress of batches of samples.
Sample receipt is logged into ERM’s sample
ledger.
While samples are being prepared in the Lab

sequence that usually displays a pronounced
east-west cleavage. Ore occurs adjacent to
steeply dipping, lenticular or pipe-like
magnetite / haematite / chlorite / quartz
bodies (‘ironstone’) that are found along east-
west trending structures. It is generally
thought that the magnetite/haematite was
hydrothermally formed in dilation zones along
the controlling structures, and that the
deposition of gold, sulphides and associated
alteration minerals was a later event with
mineralisation possibly being derived from a
different source but following the same
structurally controlled path.
• In plan view, the ironstone bodies tend to be
narrowest in the north-south direction and
elongated east west, reflecting the regional
cleavage and shearing. Edna Beryl clearly
follows
this
pattern.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA – KADUNGLE EXPLORATION TARGET

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate
to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting
the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant
disclosure of detailed
information.
•The Kadungle Exploration Target has been
sampled using Aircore (AC), Reverse Circulation
(RC) and diamond drilling (DD) techniques. 78AC
holes for 2,246m, 131 RC/Percussion holes for
7,023m and 19 Diamond holes for 5,188.4m have
been completed. RC and DDH holes have been
angled to optimally test the target zones with AC
drilled vertical. Typically, most drill holes have
been drilled towards the North or South at angles
(dip) between 50 to 80 degrees from surface.
•RC chips are either riffle split or speared on site to
obtain 3m composite samples from which 2.5 –
3.0kg was pulverised (at the laboratory) to
produce a 50g charge for analysis by multi acid
digest with an ICP (Cu, Fe, Bi) finish & Fire Assay
(Au) finish.
•Individual 1m samples were pulverised (at the
laboratory) to produce a 50g charge for analysis by
multi acid digest with an ICP (Cu, Fe, Bi) finish &
Fire Assay (Au) finish.
•RC samples were collected in 1m sample bags, but
sampled
as 3m composites.
Anomalous
composites were re-sampled as 1m intervals,
being manually by field assistants.

Diamond core was used to obtain high quality
samples that
were
logged
for
lithological,
structural,
geotechnical,
density
and
other
attributes.

No assessment of the QC of drill hole sampling
methods, after cut by the drill rig can be made
from available data, hence the author has to
assume no significant errors occurred during or
post drilling sampling process. QAQC measures
are assumed to be as per industry best practice for
the time.
•Diamond core was typically NQ2 size, however
some larger diameter core was also collected
(HQ). Core was sampled on geological intervals
(0.5 m to 1.5 m), cut into half core using a
standard
brick
saw.
Sample
weights
of
approximately 3.0kg were crushed, dried and
pulverised (Lab) to produce a 50g sub sample for
analysis by multi acid digest with an ICP (Cu, Fe, Bi)
finish & Fire Assay (Au) finish.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
•AC, RC and Diamond drilling accounts for 100% of
the current drilling at_the Kadungle_Exploration
Target.
•RC drilling utilizes a 4.5 inch, face sampling bit.
•NQ2 core diameter is 50.6mm.

•Standard assay procedures performed by a
reputable assay lab, (ALS Group), were
undertaken. Gold assays are initially by 30g fire
assay with AAS finish, (method Au-AA25). For
samples with a gold value greater than 0.5ppm
the entire remaining sample is screen fire assayed
using wet screening to 75 microns. Ag, As, Cu, Fe,
Pb, S, Zn are digested in aqua regia then analysed
by ICPAES (method ME-ICP41). Comparison with 4

•It is likely that should the interpretation and
assessment of magnetics data, historical drilling

•It is likely that additional surface drilling will occur
testing for the similar style of mineralisation as
reported.
