ASX / Media Announcement 12 October 2017
SUH Increases Lower Fortescue Group Prospective Conglomerate Gold Tenements to 1,504 Km[2] -Pilbara Basin-
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Two Exploration Licenses totalling 782km[2] for conglomerate gold applied for at Newman, 400 km southeast of Karratha.
-
Conceptual interpretation of the important Lower Fortescue Group basal sediments.
-
Increases SUH’s Exploration tenements on the southern edge of the Pilbara Basin to 1,504km[2] .
Keith Coughlan, SUH’s Director, commented; “Unlike most other explorers in the area looking for conglomerate hosted gold mineralisation associated with the Lower Fortescue Group in the Pilbara Basin, SUH is totally focused on the southern boundaries of the basin. There is no reason why this exciting play does not exist in the southern part of the Basin, as there is extensive historic evidence of gold occurrences associated with the Lower Fortescue in this area.”
Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited ( “SUH” of “ the Company ”) ( ASX:SUH ) is pleased to announce that it has applied for two Exploration Licences, E52/3579 (82 Blocks, 257km[2] ) and E52/3580 (167 Blocks, 525km[2] ), covering a total area of 782km[2] located 400km southeast of Karratha and immediately south of Newman in the Pilbara, Western Australia (Figure 1). The new tenement applications have no competing tenement applications and the company expects that the grant of the tenements will occur in a timely fashion.
This new Exploration Licence applications combined with the 722km[2] the Company has recently applied for near Paraburdoo[1] brings SUH’s total tenements in the area to 1504km[2] .
The two Exploration Licence applications are prospective for conglomerate gold mineralisation associated with the Lower Fortescue Group on the southern boundary of the Fortescue Basin. The geological setting is considered analogous in a basinal context to the Artemis Resources owned Purdy’s Reward Project located on the northern boundary of the Fortescue Basin.

Approximately 400km southeast of Karratha, Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) mapping shows the presence of Lower Fortescue Group sediments along the margin of the Hamersley Basin north of the Archean Sylvania Dome and arcing around the Sylvania dome to the south.
The Sylvania Dome has numerous gold occurrences (Figure 3) associated around its margins mostly in the Jimblebar Archean Inlier To the east. More significant is the Deadman Flat dry blowing and metal detecting area on the southwest side of the Sylvania Dome. Located in the headwaters of “Goldfields Creek” the area is within extensive colluvium but correlates with Lower Fortescue Group sediments.

The Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) has released historical sampling data as shown in Figure 3. The extensive sampling data set and other remote sensing and historical exploration data will be further investigated, interrogated and validated. The results of this work will be used to plan further exploration.
