Notes
1. Information regarding drilling/assaying data
2. Drilling was completed as HQ or NQ diamond core.
3. Sample recoveries were considered adequate for all samples.
4. Drillcore has been logged in detail based on lithology, mineralisation, and alteration.
5. Samples for analysis were collected by sawing core in half.
6. Samples were submitted as 1m or 4m composite half-core intervals.
7. Samples were analysed at ALS Chemex utilising methods: Au‐AA25 for Au (fire assay); ME‐ICP41, ME-ICP61 or ME MS61 for multi-element including Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn; Ag-OG46 for >100 g/t Ag; Cu-OG46 for >1% Cu; Pb-OG46 for >1% Pb; and Zn-OG46 for >1% Zn.
8. Drillhole collars were surveyed by DGPS (GDA94) and downhole gyroscopic surveys were run continuously.
* Copper Equivalent Calculation Explanation:
-
The copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result, nor metallurgical flowsheet considerations. The copper equivalent calculation is intended as an indicative value only. No metallurgical testwork has been completed to date however it is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the copper equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered.
-
Copper equivalent conversion factors and long‐term price assumptions used follow: Massive Sulphide Zone Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00 + Co (ppm) x 0.025)/0.0075;
-
Stringer/Breccia Sulphide Zone Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00)/0.0075;
-
Price Assumptions ‐ Cu (US$7,500/t), Ag (US$30/oz), Au (US$1,500/oz), Co (US$25,000/t).
-
Pb and Zn have not been used in copper equivalent calculation.
