A previously drilled prospect which lies at the northern end of the Anabama - Redan Fault Zone in South Australia was investigated for possible economic Telfer style stratabound gold-copper mineralisation that might exist within the Neoproterozoic bedrock. Sampling of stored drill cores from five previously drilled diamond holes, plus field geological reconnaissance and rock chip geochemical sampling, did not produce any significant gold or base metal assay values from within the target Boucaut Volcanics and intercalated sedimentary rock units, thus downgrading their perceived exploration potential.
