Licence Renewal
On 17th December 2010, Bonanza Gold Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Resources Limited) received a proposed renewal of EL 4355 from the South Australian government. Marathon Resources is consulting with the government on the terms and operating conditions of the renewed licence.
Investigation on Rare Earth Potential of the Mt Gee ore zones
All Marathon drill holes (75 RC and 45 diamond holes) were routinely assayed for REE elements (Lanthanum, Cerium and Yttrium). Several CRA drill holes were also assayed for Lanthanum, Cerium and occasionally Praseodymium.
Preliminary study in the Mt Gee ore zones shows a close relationship between REE and Uranium mineralisation. Within the ore blocks, the Lanthanum values are up to 5800ppm, Cerium values up to 9100ppm and Yttrium values up to 600ppm.
Further study is in progress to follow up previous Exoil work (1970) which reports zones of REE-bearing monazites.
Preparation of a DEF for drilling proposal
A DEF proposal is in progress. Marathon is proposing a drilling exploration program to:
-
Demonstrate the NE, E and SE extensions of the Mt Gee deposit;
-
Demonstrate the continuity of the Armchair and Hodgkinson deposits;
-
Test recently discovered high grade shear zones.
