INITIAL DRILLING RESULTS FROM ROVER EAST GOLD/COPPER PROJECT
Key Points:
-
Seven magnetic targets tested
-
Adverse ground and weather conditions led to early termination of the program
-
Three drillholes completed to target depth with magnetic volcanic sequences intersected
-
Diamond drilling required to complete test of four of the magnetic targets
-
Wiso Basin sequence prospective for phosphate
Western Desert Resources Limited ( ASX: WDR ) wishes to advise that the initial drilling program has been completed at the East Rover Project near Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.
Eight magnetic targets were originally to be tested by single deep RC percussion holes. Weather conditions deteriorated during mid-February and led to the early termination of the program.
Seven holes were completed with only three reaching the planned target depths (holes ERRC001, 3 and 7), see Table 1 below. The remaining four holes encountered very strong water flows in Wiso Basin sediments which overlie the prospective Proterozoic rocks and were unable to be drilled to the target depths. It is planned to complete these holes with a diamond drill rig.

Assay Results
Assay results have been received for the first five drillholes. The two holes completed to target depth (ERRC001 and 3) intersected magnetic volcanic and igneous rocks with no anomalous geochemistry. Geophysical measurements on the samples indicate that the holes have successfully tested the magnetic targets which were caused by the barren magnetic volcanic/igneous sequences.
The upper portions of the holes were not sampled as the Wiso sediments were not considered to be prospective. However samples from the base of the Wiso sequence in two holes (ERRC002 and 5), showed anomalously high phosphorus values (3.2-4.0%P2O5). The upper parts of the holes will be composite sampled and analysed for phosphate. Previous work conducted by the Northern Territory Geological Survey had shown that the Wiso Basin to the west of Tennant Creek is prospective for phosphate.

Future Work
Future planned work includes completing the four unfinished holes with a diamond drill rig, conducting a gravity survey over the western portion of the area and ascertaining the prospectivity of the area for phosphate deposits.

Rover River Gold/Copper Project – background
Western Desert Resources has a farm-in agreement with TNG Ltd over two granted exploration licences (EL24471 and EL25581) and two exploration licence applications south of Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory. WDR holds a 51% interest in the tenements and has agreed to spend $850,000 over 30 months to earn a further 29% share (increasing total interest to 80%).
The project area lies immediately to the east of the Rover field where Westgold Resources and Adelaide Resources have announced high grade gold and copper intersections in magnetic ironstones.
