  • An interpreted east-west trending structure extending across the survey area has been interpreted from the VTEM data and is thought to control the high grade manganese at Masterton No2.

The McArthur River project contains the high grade Masterton No2 manganese occurrence. Previous reviews of the available geophysical and geological data by Resource Potentials in 2007 and subsequent reconnaissance rock chip sampling in 2008 confirmed the location of the occurrence and the tenor of the manganese mineralisation (Figure 2). It is believed that the manganese mineralisation is structurally controlled and pods like, similar to the Woodie Woodie manganese deposits which are also conductive and can be detected by airborne electromagnetics (Hashemi, 2005).

A Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey was commissioned to cover the Masterton No2 manganese occurrences and surrounds in order to detect known massive manganese occurrences, highlight other anomalies that may represent previously undiscovered or blind deposits at shallow depths and provide walk up drill targets.

Resource Potentials assisted in the planning and implementation of the helicopter electromagnetic (HEM) survey then provided ongoing quality control of the survey data and completed preliminary processing and interpretation of the results.

The known manganese outcrops at Masterton No2 have been successfully detected in the VTEM survey. The VTEM depicts a single to double peaked anomaly indicting a steep dip, extending over 2 separate but semi continuous discrete zones over 1km (as per below Figure 1).

Other significance features detected and interpreted is an east-west trending structure which runs through (and beyond) the known manganese mineralisation at Masterton No2 and may be an important control on the mineralisation as the Woodie Woodie deposits also follow major structures (Hashemi 2004) Figure 3.

The anomalies corresponding to the Masterton No2 area have been selected as Targets 1 and 2 and centred on 761200E, 8098060N and 760800E, 8097875N respectively. Target Anomaly 1 is 600m in length and target anomaly 2 is 300m in length.

Outside of the Masterton No2 area ten target anomalies have been selected (see Figure 3) of which four have been selected along or closely associate to the interpreted E-W structure.

In commenting on these positive results, Pedro Kastellorizos, Managing Director of Genesis, said:

“We are excited to have received such an excellent preliminary results over the McArthur River Project. Based on the results we are currently seeking drilling approvals from the Northern Territory Department of Mines & Energy and a sacred site clearance from the Northern Land Council. At this stage we are hopeful the drilling will commence once all approvals have been granted to Genesis”.
