MABEL CREEK IOCG PROJECTS
AREA 5: MCDA5-01 DRILL HOLE
- Independent Petrological study – “hydrothermal alteration overprints all rocks at varied levels of intensity and is comparable to moderately deep, moderate to lower temperature Iron Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG)-type sodic-calcic alteration. This is particularly evident in the consistent presence of dispersed hematite alteration, and in the presence of high intensity calc-silicate (sodic-calcic) skarn-type alteration containing abundant sulphides”

MABEL CREEK IOCG PROJECTS
2020 DRILL CAMPAIGN DELIVERED HIGHLY ENCOURAGING RESULTS
-
4 targets were tested in early 2020 with hole depths ranging between 250m to
-
400m
-
Area 5 North intersected pervasive hydrothermal alteration - diagnostic of IOCG style mineralization
-
Revised modelling of the gravity and magnetic data show that the main gravity body (green) is potentially much shallower to the north
-
MCDA5-01 likely only clipped an outlier to the main altered part of the system
-
The shallow high-density portion of the body will be followed up with a 300m
-
hole.

MABEL CREEK IOCG PROJECT
PTR TO UNDERTAKE FURTHER EXPLORATION AT PRIORITY TARGETS
-
S.A. Government grant awarded ($182,000) to assist drilling of the IOCG Style geophysical targets. High priority targets include:
-
Area 5: Follow-up drilling at Area 5 to test the main gravity body
-
Area 13: a large, 6 milligal gravity anomaly, coincident with a magnetic feature which modelling suggests starts at approximately 500 metres depth
-
Area 15: discrete combined magnetic and gravity target with modelled depth of 400 metres
4 to 5 targets are proposed to be drilled tested, drilling preparations are advanced and scheduled to start in first quarter 2021

COMET GOLD PROJECT
TARGETS FOR IMMEDIATE FOLLOW UP TESTING IDENTIFIED
-
Gold intercepts occur over a continuous strike length in excess of 150 metres, open to the north, south and at depth
-
Follow up drill testing will be a priority: Native Title mining agreement in place and rapid drilling approvals anticipated
-
Historical gold soil geochemistry over much of the northern Gawler Craton was ineffective due to transported cover and prematurely down graded many areas
-
Regional grid drilling to the top of saprolite zone (deeply weathered bedrock) at 5 to 10 metres depth is proposed to explore for new gold zones
