2022 – Advancing Exploration at Burns
-
Multiple step-out & infill drill programs continue to increase the scale of copper-gold mineralisation at Burns, hosted in altered diorite porphyry and basalt.
-
Ongoing research indicates Burns may be ‘first of a kind’ Archaean aged copper-gold porphyry system Australia.
-
The system may extend for 2.5km along strike between Millhouse in the south and at the Lovejoy prospect in the North (Burns Corridor).
-
Multiple magnetic anomalies outside of Lovejoy and Burns Central remain largely untested (e.g. Ralph, Flanders, Skinner, Millhouse[)1.]
-
The lithological & geochemical similarities of each of these magnetic features indicate they may form one large contiguous mineral system.

Burns | Burns Central Prospect
In CY22, Lefroy completed 2 deep diamond holes (LEFD006007a) totaling 1952m:
-
EIS co-funded hole, LEFD006, drilled to 1245.8m is the deepest drillhole at Burns to date.
-
LEFD006 established four key geological domains (including the Central Porphyry) which when combined indicate a width of 600m to the intrusive system and vertical depth of 1000m.
-
A new zone of mineralisation has been confirmed from limited assay results for LEFD006, which has increased the lateral extent of copper in the Western Basalt zone by 250m west.
-
A new diorite porphyry was intersected within this new Western Basalt zone over 40m, including:
-
19.6m at 0.33g/t Au, 0.75% Cu from 428m , including;
-
3.5m at 0.86g/t Au, 0.72% Cu, 0.09% Co from 430m
