Doolgunna Deeps – A new search space
The Doolgunna region has undergone ~10 years of systematic exploration collecting high quality data.
The top ~500m has been effectively and comprehensively explored with success coming at the Monty discovery.
Significant opportunity occurs at depths of +500m, however a different approach to exploration is required.
-
Refine structural and lithological model through collection of further geophysical data eg seismic, MT
-

Exploration and Resource Targets
Any discussion in relation to the potential quantity and grade of Exploration and Resource Targets is only conceptual in nature. While Sandfire is continuing exploration programs aimed at reporting additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources, there has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources in addition to the current JORC compliant Mineral Resource inventory and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources.
