Exploration: Regional Reconnaissance Program

  • Objectives – generate new discoveries within the belt

  • Method – generate regional consistent datasets for:

  • 1:10,000 or 1:5,000 detailed geological outcrop mapping

  • Regional advanced 3D modelling where appropriate

  • Soil Geochemistry – auger drilling targeting the calcareous horizon (best gold response) aimed at regenerating regionally consistent dataset

  • Detailed air magnetic survey

  • This process has already commenced:

  • Detailed geological outcrop mapping – Siberia, Davyhurst 

  • Regional advanced 3D modelling – Siberia 

  • Soil Geochemistry – Mulline 

  • Ongoing budget commitment of approximately $1m per year
