ASX RELEASE: 12 October 2021
Thick aircore intercepts enhance West Island Prospect - Cue Joint Venture, WA
-
Follow-up aircore drilling at West Island on Lake Austin has identified more thick zones of regolith gold mineralisation over more than 1.6km of strike. This regolith mineralisation is over 150m wide in some areas and includes new aircore intersections:
-
68m @ 1.49g/t Au from 110m to EOH (21MOAC024) including: ▪ 12m @ 4.41g/t Au from 134m
-
53m @ 2.01g/t Au from 108m to EOH (21MOAC025) including: ▪ 27m @ 3.63g/t Au from 134m to EOH
-
67m @ 0.82g/t Au from 87m to EOH (21MOAC018) including: ▪ 44m @ 1.17g/t Au from 87m
-
67m @ 0.87g/t Au from 88m to EOH (21MOAC019) including: ▪ 12m @ 3.33g/t Au from 108m
-
20m @ 1.46g/t Au from 110m (21MOAC020)
-
20m @ 0.99g/t Au from 158m (21MOAC027)
-
36m @ 1.06g/t Au from 112m (21MOAC028)
-
18m @ 1.00g/t Au from 124m (21MOAC032)
-
Diamond drilling to follow-up beneath these strong regolith aircore results has commenced
-
Diamond drilling approximately 700m to the north at West Island has intersected further high-grade basement gold where it remains open to the north, south and at depth. Intersections include:
-
8.0m @ 3.0g/t Au from 212m (21MODD024) including:
- 0.9m @ 19.7g/t Au from 214.8m
-
Seven diamond drill holes have been completed at West Island in the current program with assays pending for 5 holes. Drilling is continuing
-
The mineralisation is hosted within a differentiated dolerite and structural interpretation suggests the potential for multiple parallel basement gold lodes

Musgrave Minerals Ltd (ASX: MGV ) (“Musgrave” or “the Company”) and Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX: EVN ) (“Evolution”) are pleased to report further assay results ( Table 1a ) from the current aircore and diamond drilling programs on the Cue Joint Venture over Lake Austin in Western Australia’s Murchison district. The aircore results have extended the large regolith gold mineralisation to over 1.6km at the West Island Prospect and are centred 700m south of the recent diamond drilling.
The West Island zone is part of a broader regional 7km-long anomalous gold corridor within the joint venture ( Figure 1 ). The mineralisation at West Island is hosted within a differentiated dolerite unit, similar to that hosting the high-grade Great Fingall and Golden Crown deposits 25km to the north at Cue.
The Great Fingall and Golden Crown deposits host a combined 4.4Mt @ 14.1g/t Au for 2.0Moz gold (Total Indicated and Inferred Resources and past production) (see Westgold Resources Ltd (WGX) ASX announcement 10 June 2020, “Investor Presentation June 2020 – ASX Release”, page 15).
Musgrave Managing Director Rob Waugh said: “This is an excellent result from aircore drilling and shows the extensive and thick nature of the regolith gold dispersion in this area. Diamond drilling has commenced in this new target zone 700m south of previous basement drilling and we look forward to providing the results as they come to hand. The diamond drilling will test for the possibility of multiple parallel basement gold lodes which have the potential to enhance the economics of a potential new discovery.”
Evolution’s Vice President Discovery and Business Development Glen Masterman said: “We are very pleased with the recent drilling results which have significantly increased the footprint of the mineral system we have identified on Lake Austin. The results reinforce our belief in the high-quality project we are delineating and validate the original area selection work by the Evolution team that led to the formation of our partnership with Musgrave. Evolution is well on its way to completing the 75% earn-in and we are developing plans with our partner to accelerate the drilling program over the next several months”.
Lake Austin Aircore Drilling Program Results
Under the Musgrave – Evolution Joint Venture ( Figure 1 ), two phases of regional aircore drilling have been completed on Lake Austin since October 2019 and a third phase of over 17,000m of drilling is currently underway. 141 drill holes for 13,799m of aircore drilling has been completed to date in the current phase of the program.
Assay results for the first 32 drill holes in the program have been received. Strong aircore results in the West Island area have extended the regolith gold anomalism to over 1.6km of strike where it remains open to the north and south. The regolith mineralisation is hosted within weathered Archaean dolerite below approximately 60-90m of Tertiary lake sediment cover. The regolith gold mineralisation is extensive and is over 150m wide on some sections ( Figure 4 ).
New aircore results include:
-
67m @ 0.82g/t Au from 87m to EOH (21MOAC018) including: ▪ 44m @ 1.17g/t Au from 87m
-
67m @ 0.87g/t Au from 88m to EOH (21MOAC019) including: ▪ 12m @ 3.33g/t Au from 108m
-
46m @ 0.72g/t Au from 96m (21MOAC020) including: ▪ 20m @ 1.46g/t Au from 110m
-
68m @ 1.49g/t Au from 110m to EOH (21MOAC024) including: ▪ 12m @ 4.41g/t Au from 134m
2
-
53m @ 2.01g/t Au from 108m to EOH (21MOAC025) including: ▪ 27m @ 3.63g/t Au from 134m to EOH
-
41m @ 0.57g/t Au from 138m (21MOAC027) including:
-
20m @ 0.99g/t Au from 158m
-
69m @ 0.67g/t Au from 106m to EOH (21MOAC028) including:
-
36m @ 1.06g/t Au from 112m
-
42m @ 0.55g/t Au from 116m (21MOAC032) including:
-
18m @ 1.0g/t Au from 124m
The aircore results above are approximately 700m south of the existing diamond drilling at West Island (21MODD024) and are the strongest aircore intersections to date on Lake Austin. Diamond drilling to test the basement fresh rock below this new zone has commenced ( Figure 4 ). All new aircore drill hole collars with assay results above 100ppb Au are presented in Tables 2a and 2b.
Lake Austin Diamond Drilling Program Results
Nine diamond drill holes have been completed in the current program for 2,850m (of a planned total of 7,000m) with seven holes drilled at West Island. Assays have been received for the first two diamond holes with significant intercepts including:
-
8.0m @ 3.0g/t Au from 212m (21MODD024) including:
-
0.9m @ 19.7g/t Au from 214.8m
This diamond drill hole is approximately 700m north of the high-grade aircore results reported above.
The West Island diamond drill holes are interpreted to have intersected multiple parallel zones of basement gold mineralisation ( Figure 2 ), all hosted within differentiated dolerite, a favourable host unit that extends over multiple kilometres of strike ( Figures 2 and 4 ). The intersections are associated with extensive gold-in regolith mineralisation which aircore drilling has shown to extend for at least 1.6km of strike length at West Island. The West Island zone is part of a broader regional 7km-long anomalous gold corridor within the joint venture tenements ( Figure 1 ). The diamond drilling to date at West Island has only tested a small area of basement and the mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. Diamond drilling at West Island is continuing.
All new diamond drill hole collars with assay results above 1g/t are presented in Tables 1a and 1b.

The Musgrave – Evolution Cue Joint Venture
In October 2019, Musgrave entered an Earn-In and Joint Venture Exploration Agreement with Evolution Mining Limited over a large area of Lake Austin and surrounds on the Cue Project in the Murchison District of Western Australia.
The Evolution JV lies to the north of and excludes all the current resources at Cue (including the Lena and Break of Day deposits), the new White Heat and Big Sky discoveries, and the Mainland option area.
Evolution can earn a 75% interest in the JV Area by sole funding A$18M on exploration over a fiveyear term. Evolution has currently spent approximately A$6M on the joint venture. Musgrave is currently the operator of the JV, with Evolution providing strong technical geoscientific input and managing the diamond drilling program.

Notes to Table 1a and 1b
1. An accurate dip and strike and the controls on mineralisation are only interpreted and the true width of mineralisation is unknown at this time.
2. In Diamond (Diam) drilling, individual samples were collected at geological intervals with no individual sample smaller than 0.25m and none larger than 1.5m. All samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm detection limit) by Genalysis-Intertek in Maddington, Western Australia
3. g/t (grams per tonne), ppm (parts per million), ppb (parts per billion), X = below detection limit, NSI = no significant intercept above 100ppb Au
4. Intersections are generally calculated over >1m intervals >0.5g/t where zones of internal dilution are not weaker than 2m < 0.1g/t Au.

7. An accurate dip and strike and the controls on mineralisation are only interpreted and the true width of mineralisation is unknown at this time.
8. In Aircore (AC) drilling, composite 2 metre samples were collected with smaller composites if end of hole reached within a 2m interval. One metre individual samples are submitted for priority analysis where 2m composite assays are greater than 100ppb Au. All samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm detection limit) by Genalysis-Intertek in Maddington, Western Australia
9. g/t (grams per tonne), ppm (parts per million), ppb (parts per billion), X = below detection limit, NSI = no significant intercept above 100ppb Au
10. Intersections are generally calculated over intervals >0.1g/t where zones of internal dilution are not weaker than 2m < 0.1g/t Au.

JORC TABLE 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | 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 down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
The drill hole sampling in this release has been carried out on Lake Austin as part of the Cue Joint Venture with Evolution mining Ltd. The aircore drill program comprises drill holes varying in depth from 5m to 190m. All drill holes were drilled at either -60o, -70oor -90oand at variable spacing but nominally 50m spacings along lines with traverse lines spaced 100m-200m apart. One metre aircore samples are laid out in rows of 20 on the ground and composite 2m samples collected by scoop sampling the one metre piles to produce a 2-3kg composite sample which is sent to the Genalysis laboratory in Maddington, Perth for analysis. The diamond drill program comprises diamond drill holes varying in depth from 350m to 420m. All drill holes were drilled at either -60o, or -55oand at variable spacings and azimuths. Sampling is undertaken using standard industry practices including the use of duplicates and standards at regular 30m intervals. Sample are sent to the Genalysis laboratory in Maddington, Perth for analysis. A Thermo Scientific Niton GoldD XL3+ 950 Analyser is available on site to aid geological interpretation. No XRF results are reported. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
All co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and drill hole collars have been surveyed by handheld GPS to an accuracy of ~1.0m. The accuracy of historical drill collarspre-2009 is unknown. |
|
| 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 1m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g 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. |
Aircore samples were collected as 2m composites for all drill holes in the current program. Samples weigh less than 3kg to ensure total preparation at the laboratory pulverization stage. The sample size is deemed appropriate for the grain size of the material being sampled. Samples are sent to the Genalysis –Intertek laboratory in Maddington. Samples are pulverized to 85% passing -75um and four metre composite samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm detection limit). Diamond samples were collected at geologically defined intervals (minimum sample length 0.25m, maximum sample length 1.5m) for all drill holes in the current program Samples are cut using an automated diamond saw and half core is submitted for analysis. Individual samples weigh less than 5kg to ensure total preparation at the laboratory pulverization stage. The sample size is deemed appropriate for the grain size of the material being sampled. Samples are sent to the Genalysis –Intertek laboratory in Maddington. Samples are pulverized to 85% passing -75um and four metre composite samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm detection limit). Individual one metre gold samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish forgold. |
|
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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). |
The aircore drilling program was undertaken by Ausdrill Ltd with a 3- inch drill pipe and blade (76mm) or hammer (76mm) using a KL150 track mounted aircore rig. The diamond drilling program reported here was undertaken by West Core Drilling Pty Ltd utilising a LF90D drill rig. PQ, HQ and NQ core is obtained. A combination of historical aircore, and diamond drilling has been undertaken by multiple companies over a thirty-year period across the broader project area. Details of historical aircore and Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling techniques used on Lake Austin are not clearly reported in the historical data although these drilling methods produce cut and air blasted regolith samples and not core. |
14
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Aircore drill samples are usually dry but some wet samples exist where ground water pressure is high. The sample size and condition (wet, damp, dry) is recorded every metre. Generally, recovery is 80-100% but occasionally down to 30% on rare occasions when ground water pressure is very high. The cyclone is routinely cleaned to reduce the likelihood of cross sample contamination. Diamond core samples are considered dry. The sample recovery and condition is recorded every metre. Generally, recovery is 98-100% but occasionally down to 70% on rare occasions when ground is very broken. Bulk sample weights are observed and noted in a field Toughbook computer by MGV field staff. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|---|---|---|
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Drillers use industry appropriate methods to maximise sample recovery and minimise downhole contamination. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due topreferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
No significant sample loss or bias has been noted. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
All geological, structural and alteration related observations are stored in the database. All pre 2009 historical drilling was intended with an exploration focus and not for Mineral Resource estimation or mining and metallurgical studies. Although drill chip samples have been historically logged for geological, structural and alteration related observations the drill holes have not been logged to a level that would support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation or miningand metallurgical studies. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
Logging of lithology, structure, alteration, mineralisation, colour and other features of chips is undertaken on a routine 1m basis in aircore for all samples. |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All drill holes are logged in full on completion. | |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
Core is cut on site by an automated Almonte core saw and half core is analysed. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
Aircore samples are routinely kept dry by the use of pressurised air. Minimal wet sampling occurred and only in areas of high ground water pressure. All diamond core samples are routinely kept dry. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
New aircore samples were collected as 2m composites for all drill holes in the current program using a scoop methodology. Diamond samples were collected at geologically defined intervals (minimum sample length 0.25m, maximum sample length 1.5m) for all drill holes in the current program Samples are cut using an automated diamond saw and half core is submitted for analysis. Drill sample preparation and base metal and precious metal analysis is undertaken by a registered laboratory (Genalysis – Intertek). Sample preparation by dry pulverisation to 85% passing 75 micron. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Field QC procedures involve the use of certified reference standards (1:50), duplicates (~1:30) and blanks at appropriate intervals for early- stage exploration programs. High, medium and low gold standards are used. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. |
Sampling is carried out using standard protocols and QAQC procedures as per industry practice. Duplicate samples are inserted (~1:30) and routinely checked against originals. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for grain size of sample material to give an accurate indication of geochemical gold dispersion. Samples are collected from full width of sample interval to ensure it is representative of the drillinginterval. |
15
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
In aircore drilling all samples through the cover-basement contact and into the Archaean regolith are analysed as 2m composites. Analysis is by 50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish for gold. Multi-element analysis is undertaken on all end of hole samples. On all aircore samples, analysis is undertaken by Intertek-Genalysis (a registered laboratory), with 50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish undertaken for gold. In diamond drilling samples are analysed through potential gold mineralised zones. On all samples, analysis is undertaken by Intertek-Genalysis (a registered laboratory), with 50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish undertaken for gold. Internal certified laboratory QAQC is undertaken including check samples, blanks and internal standards. This methodology is considered appropriate for gold mineralisation at the exploration phase. For drilling pre 2009 analysis for gold was by aqua regia digest with AAS finish and considered appropriate for the type of exploration undertaken. |
|---|---|---|
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
No geophysical tools were used to estimate mineral or element percentages. Musgrave utilise a Thermo Scientific Niton GoldD XL3+ 950 Analyser to aid geological interpretation. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Standards, duplicates, blanks, and repeats are utilised as standard procedure. Certified reference materials that are relevant to the type and style of mineralisation targeted are inserted at regular intervals. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
Samples are verified by the geologist before importing into the main database (Datashed). Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
| The use of twinned holes. | No twin holes have been drilled by Musgrave Minerals Ltd during this program. |
|
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
Primary data is collected using a standard set of templates. Geological sample logging is undertaken on one metre intervals for all RC drilling with colour, structure, alteration and lithology recorded for each interval. Data is verified before loading to the database. Geological loggingof all samples is undertaken. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | No adjustments or calibrations are made to any MGV assay data reported. To our knowledge, no adjustments or calibrations were made to anyhistorical assaydata reported. |
|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
All maps and drill hole locations are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and have been surveyed or measured by hand-held GPS with an accuracy of >±1 metre. |
| Specification of the grid system used. | Drill hole and sample site co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and converted from localgrid references. |
|
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. | Historical drill hole collars and RL’s on Lake Austin were surveyed by hand-held GPS with an accuracy of >±5 metre. Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | Variable drill hole spacings are used to adequately test targets and are determined from geochemical, geophysical and geological data together with historical drilling information. Regional aircore drill hole traverse spacing is variable from 100m to 200m and 50m to 100m along lines. Diamond drill holes are spaced at variable intervals based on geological interpretation. Variable drill hole spacings were used in historical drilling with drill traverses spaced between 100m and 1km apart. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied. |
No mineral resources or ore reserves have been estimated based on the exploration data and information generated on the tenements that are subject to the Musgrave – Evolution joint venture agreement |
16
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. | Aircore samples were collected as 2m composites for all drill holes in the current program, unless EOH occurred on an odd number depth, using a scoop methodology from one metre sample piles. One metre individual samples are submitted for analysis where anomalous composite assays above 100ppb gold exist using a scoop methodology rom one metre sample piles. Composite sampling is undertaken using a stainless-steel spear (trowel) on one metre samples and combined in a calico bag for a combined weight of approximately 2-3kg. One metre individual samples were collected in mineralised zones on all pre 2009 historical drill holes. No sample compositingwas undertaken in diamond sampling. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
Drilling is designed to cross the mineralisation as close to perpendicular as possible. Most drill holes are designed at a dip of approximately -55 to -60 degrees. The true width of drill intersections in fresh rock is not known at this time but gold dispersion mineralisation in the Archaean saprolite from aircore drillingis interpreted to be dominantlyflat lying. |
| 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. |
No orientation based sampling bias is known at this time. | |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | Chain of custody is managed by internal staff. Drill samples are stored on site and transported by a licenced reputable transport company to a registered laboratory in Perth (Genalysis-Intertek at Maddington). When at the laboratory samples are stored in a locked yard before being processed and tracked through preparation and analysis (Lab- Trak system). Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported in detail. As such these details are unknown. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
During the resource estimate an external review of the geological interpretation, data and modelling techniques was undertaken by CSA global. Open file reports confirm the historical mineralisation as reported. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria Mineral tenement and land tenure status Exploration done by other parties |
Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. |
Musgrave Minerals has secured 100% of the Moyagee Project area (see MGV ASX announcement 2 August 2017: “Musgrave Secures 100% of Key Cue Tenure”). In October 2019 the Evolution Joint Venture commenced covering Lake Austin and some surrounding tenure. Evolution have a right to earn 75% in the project by spending $18M on exploration within 5 years. Joint venture tenements include; E21/129, E21/200, E21/194, E21/177, E21/204, E21/207, E21/208, P21/757, E58/507, M21/107 and the northern portion of M21/106. Musgrave will manage the JV for the initial period. The Break of Day, Lena, White Heat and Target 14 and Prospects are located on the southern portion of 100% MGV owned granted mining lease M21/106 and E58/335. The primary tenement holder is Musgrave Minerals Ltd. The Numbers and Big Sky Prospect are on E58/335 owned 100% by Musgrave Minerals Ltd. Lake Austin North is on M21/106 and E21/129. The Mt Eelya Prospect is located on granted exploration licence E20/608 and the primary tenement holder is Musgrave Minerals Ltd. The Cue project tenements consist of 39 licences. The tenements are subject to standard Native Title heritage agreements and state royalties. Third party royalties are present on some individual tenements. |
|
| The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist. |
|
| Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Historical drilling, soil sampling and geophysical surveys have been undertaken in different areas on the tenements intermittently by multiple third parties over a period of more than 30 years. At Break of Day and Lena historical exploration and drilling has been undertaken by a number of companies and most recently by Silver Lake Resources Ltd in 2010-11. Historical lake drilling from 1991-1999 was undertaken by Perilya Mines Ltd and from 2001-2006 by Mines and Resources Australia Pty Ltd. Prior to MGV, Silver Lake Resources Ltd also did historical drilling at Break of Day,Lena,Leviticus and Numbers between 2009 and 2011. |
17
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Geology comprises typical Archaean Yilgarn greenstone belt lithologies and granitic intrusives. Two main styles of mineralisation are present, typical orogenic Yilgarn Archaean lode gold and volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) base metal and gold mineralisation within the Eelya Felsic Complex (northern tenure). |
|---|---|---|
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. |
All relevant historical drill hole information has previously been reported by SLR and MGV and through open file reporting by previous explorers. All new drill holes completed and assayed by MGV & EVN with material results (>500ppb Au (0.5g/t Au)) are referenced in this release. |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high-grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
All significant new drill hole assay data of a material nature are reported in this release. No cut-off has been applied to any sampling. All intervals have been length weighted. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
All significant new drill hole assay data are reported in this release. No cut-off has been applied to any sampling. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values have been reported. All intervals are down hole intervals with a minimum width of one metre and are not true widths. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect _(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _ |
All significant new drill hole assay data of a material nature are reported in this release. True widths are not confirmed but all drilling is planned close to perpendicular to interpreted targets. Gold intersections within the Archaean regolith are interpreted to intersect flat lying gold dispersion halos. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Diagrams referencing new and historical drill data can be found in the body of this release. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high-grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All material assays received to date from Musgrave’s drilling are reported in this release together with reference to historical drilling results of significance. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All new meaningful data is reported in this release. All material results from geochemical and geophysical surveys and drilling related to these prospects has been reported or disclosed previously. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
A range of exploration techniques will be considered to progress exploration including additional drilling. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
