ASX Announcement
13 June 2014
WIRRALIE EXPLORATION TENEMENTS GRANTED
Evolution Mining (ASX: EVN) is pleased to advise that its applications for three exploration tenements centred on the historic Wirralie gold mine in North Queensland have been successful with all three tenements granted.
The tenements cover an area of approximately 890 square kilometres surrounding the historic Wirralie gold mine[1] . Previous mining activity at Wirralie was restricted to oxidised mineralisation with mining extending to approximately 70m depth. The processing technology installed at the time was unable to treat the refractory sulphide mineralisation identified at depth and within the surrounding region. Little or no exploration was carried out on the sulphide mineralisation in the region.
The Wirralie area has not had any significant modern exploration since the late 1980’s and as such is in need of systematic modern exploration to understand and unlock the potential of the area.
Commenting on the tenement grant, Evolution Vice President Discovery and Chief Geologist, Dr Roric Smith, said:
“Our focus has been to consolidate a large land holding in an area considered to have highpotential for discovery of epithermal style mineralisation. Our intention is to apply new ideas from our evolving knowledge of the Drummond and Bowen Basins that will facilitate new discoveries in this region.
Evolution believes that it can use its knowledge and expertise from its similar Queensland operations (Pajingo, Mt Carlton and Cracow) to understand and unlock the potential of the Wirralie district.
Initial exploration activity is expected to consist of data integration and review, development of refined metallogenic models and the acquisition of high-quality aeromagnetics and radiometrics over the tenement area.
