-
Ruby silver project (Armidale, NSW)
-
Apollo Hill gold project (Goldfields WA)
-

• 4-Mile Cobar-style discovery
-
Coincident VTEM & magnetic anomaly identified at historic 4-Mile goldfield early 2011
-
Follow-up ground FLEM completed
-
Phase 1 RC drilling intersects anomalous mineralisation in all three drillholes - best result of 10m @ 24 g/t Ag, 0.09 g/t Au, 1.17% Pb, 2.2% Zn
– DHEM /logging says conductor not intersected - drill again
- Phase 2 RC drilling intersects highly anomalous mineralisation in both drillholes
– DHEM /logging says conductor not intersected - drill again
- Phase 3 RC drilling intersects conductor & ore grade mineralisation with best result including 8m @ 1.94% Cu, 55 g/t Ag, 0.3 g/t Au, 0.16% Pb, 0.29% Zn
– DHEM says better conductor below – drill again
– Phase 4 diamond drilling intersects massive sulphides/conductors and high grade Cobar-style mineralisation including 10m @ 0.14% Cu, 41 g/t Ag, 0.77 g/t Au, 9.01% Pb, 11% Zn and 6.65m @ 3.1% Cu, 34 g/t Ag, 0.93 g/t Au, 0.65% Pb, 0.13% Zn

• 4-Mile mineralisation/geology characteristics
- Cobar-style polymetallic system
– Broad alteration zone containing multiple intervals of massive sulphide and stringer mineralisation, including chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, pyrite
-
Geology comprises package of sheared and brecciated turbidite sequence sediments (volcaniclastics)
-
– Mineralisation interpreted as a shoot-like structure dipping west and plunging to south
– Host geological unit interpreted to be age equivalent of the Chesney and Great Cobar Slate Formations found in the immediate Cobar region – Positioned in a favourable geological and structural position, sited on the “nose” of an anticline – a suitable high-stress environment – Multiple additional coincident geochem/magnetic anomalies – Large proximal magnetic anomaly to north (G5) remains unexplained
11
peel mining LIMITED
• 4-Mile current work/forward plan
– Ground magnetics and gravity survey completed
– DHEM on 4MRCDD006 completed
– FLEM completed
– RAB drilling targeting upper level of conductor & potential supergene enrichment & geochem/geological completed
– Surface geochemical orientation surveys completed
– Review of Environmental Factors submitted – +5000m RC/diamond drilling commencing this week – Additional VTEM/Spectrum EM over balance of EL – Tenement wide geochem survey
