Dear Sir
QUARTERLY REPORT - PERIOD ENDING 30 JUNE 2004
This report details the exploration and corporate activities of Revesco Group Limited ("Revesco") for the quarter ending 30 June 2004.
HIGHLIGHTS
Corporate Overview
As stated in a number of Revesco's previous reports, over the past 24 months Revesco has evaluated a number of prospective investment opportunities. This process continued during the preceding quarter with a sharpened focus on one opportunity in particular. Considerable progress on a number of commercial and administrative issues related to this opportunity was made during the previous quarter and Revesco continued to draw on the expertise of various independent advisors and consultants in order to evaluate the opportunity.
It is expected that investigations into the prospective opportunity will be sufficiently progressed for the board to consider whether to proceed with the opportunity imminently. Should the board approve the opportunity. Revesco will provide its shareholders with full details of its nature and commercial merits. No significant investment of Revesco's cash reserves will be made without shareholder approval.
Exploration Review
The increased level of exploration activities undertaken by Revesco's joint venture partners' continued during the quarter. A number of joint ventures continued to show promise and Shareholders can look forward to an increased level of exploration activity over the coming months.
Exploration Projects
Revesco retains its interest in the following properties:
$1.01$ Goldsworthy Joint Venture Project (Revesco 100 percent, reducing to 20 percent)
Independence Group NL (Independence) can earn 80% interest in all tenements by completing a prefeasibility study.
Below is Independence's summary of exploration activities undertaken during the quarter.
Air core drilling has further tested areas within E45/2380. A total of 98 holes for 3403m were completed during the quarter following completion of Aboriginal Heritage clearance surveys.
At the TG1 target, seven drill traverses tested approximately 6km of strike on the main east-west trending shear zone. All traverses intercepted elevated Au, As and Sb mineralisation over wide intervals with individual 1m samples up to 0.5 $g/t$ Au. The shallow (generally 20-40m deep) angled holes were spaced at 50m or 100m spacings on traverses up to 2km apart.
At the TG2 target, follow up drilling of vertical holes spaced at 100m on traverses 400m apart also intercepted a zone of elevated Au, (Cu, As, Zn) mineralisation which parallels the main north-east structural trend in this area.
The proposed follow up program consists of further drilling to better define the widths and tenor of the known mineralisation. A detailed aeromagnetic survey is also planned to assist with targeting of potential structural and lithological mineralising fluid traps. Results to date suggest the major structures in the area have at some time acted as large conduit systems for significant volumes of potentially mineralising hydrothermal fluids.
$2.0$ Irwin Bore Project
(Revesco 10 percent)
The Irwin Bore Project covers a sector of the Fisher greenstone belt some 140 kilometres west of Wiluna in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. This project now consists of two separate joint ventures, with Revesco retaining a 10% free carried interest in both joint venture projects until the completion of a pre-feasibility study.
Joint Venture 1 (Gold): Revesco 10% Cullen Resources Limited 90%
No new exploration work was carried out during the quarter.
Joint Venture 2 (Nickel and Base Metals): Revesco 10% Cullen Resources Limited 90%
As previously announced, Cullen's 90% interest in the nickel rights for the Irwin Bore Project has been farmed out to the Independence Group NL (Independence). The Revesco Group Ltd owns the remaining 10% interest which is free carried to completion of a pre feasibility study in the project.
Below is Cullen's summary of exploration activities undertaken by Independence during the quarter.
The Irwin Bore tenements contain prospective komatiites which have only had limited previous exploration for accumulations of nickel sulphides. The tenements contain 16 kms of at least three komatiite horizons. some of which show cumulate textures.
The Independence Group reported that an initial 604, -2mm size fraction soil samples were collected from the Irwin Bore Joint Venture tenements during the Quarter. The sampling was completed on a grid spacing of 500m x 50m and was designed to cover the interpreted location of the entire ultramafic sequence within the southern portion of the Joint Venture area. The aim of the survey is to enable scheduled ground EM geophysical surveys to focus initially on areas with elevated nickel suite geochemistry.
Overall the results from the survey were encouraging with eight areas of interest identified. In these areas, clusters of samples returned elevated nickel suite assays over areas interpreted to be underlain by ultramafic rocks. Peak soil geochemical responses were: 1050 ppm Ni: 164ppm Cu, 1790ppm Cr, 37 ppb Pd and 34 ppb Pt.
The forward program consists of field checking of areas of anomalous geochemistry in conjunction with regolith interpretation. The aim is to determine areas where the geochemistry may have been ineffective. First pass 200m loop, ground EM surveying of prioritised areas is scheduled to commence during the September quarter. Further infill geochemistry may be completed in selected areas of anomalous EM response to assist drill targeting.
$3.0$ Zanthus Project
(Revesco 100 percent)
The Zanthus Project consists of four exploration licence applications in the Zanthus region, some 200 kilometres southeast of Kalgoorlie. Western Australia.
The tenements cover the western flank of a metamorphosed Neoproterozoic mafic layered complex, considered by Revesco to be prospective for nickel, copper, chromium and platinum group element mineralisation.
No progress has been made in advancing these applications during the quarter.
4.0 Balgarrie Project (Revesco 40 percent)
The Balgarrie Gold Project, located approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Kalgoorlie, consists of two mining tenements M16/23 and P16/1373 in Joint Venture with Placer Dome Asia Pacific Limited (Placer Dome) Revesco holds a 40 percent interest in the two tenements that is free-carried to decision-to-mine.
A small drilling program was undertaken to test an interpreted structural intersection in the northwestern area of the tenement (P16/1373) within volcanogenic sediments of Black Flag Beds. Results from this drilling program failed to return any economic grade intersections.
$5.0$ Lake Lefrov (Revesco 100 percent)
This single exploration licence application covers a sector of the Zulieka Shear some kilometres southwest of Kambalda.
No work was carried out during the quarter.
Yours faithfully Revesco Group Limited
