BM1 Regional Targets
Up to 0.9% Cu in aircore reconnaissance drilling
-
Helicopter EM survey (“VTEM”) completed in June 2011
-
Bedrock conductors located down dip of the western and eastern mineralised limbs of the BM1 Northern Area are high priority drill targets
-
VTEM survey identified two regional scale targets to the north and east of BM1 showing similar structural and conductivity response to the main BM1 copper discovery

6km
----- End of picture text -----
- The BM1 mineralised system now remains anomalous for over 6km which is a world class copper regolith footprint.

BM2 – Second Copper System
-
Shallow drilling has confirmed a mineralised copper system
-
Extensive copper regolith enrichment continuous over a large area
-
Several of the shallow holes terminated in anomalous copper
-
30m @ 0.14% Cu from 42m to end of hole including 2m @ 0.88% Cu
-
28m @ 0.18% Cu from 54m including 4m @ 0.48% Cu & 2m @ 0.41% Cu
-
36m @ 0.17% Cu from 76m to end of hole including 6m @ 0.37% Cu
==> picture [442 x 304] intentionally omitted <==
- 20m @ 0.27% Cu from 62m including 4m @ 0.57% Cu
The grade and continuity of the initial results are similar to the early results obtained at BM1

BM2 - Diamond Drilling
-
WA Government EIS co-funded diamond drilling in June intersected 100m thick zone containing base metal-bearing sulphide veins
-
Base metal sulphides occur within thin carbonate / quartz veinlets and narrow breccia zones and predominately sphalerite (zinc) with minor galena (lead) and chalcopyrite (copper).
-
Zinc veins commonly occur in the halo to copper deposits
-
1.2km long +0.1% copper regolith anomaly remains unexplained
