Exploration for structurally controlled Cu mineralisation near Witchelina Homestead and Breaden Hill, 20 km south-west of Marree, comprised detailed geological mapping of prospect areas, soil and rock chip geochemical sampling of gossans and of mineralised limonitic quartz veins in the vicinity of old copper workings, the acquisition of Sirotem surveys over prospect grids, and diamond drilling (3 holes, total 862.5 m) and RC drilling (13 holes, total 1319 m). Best intersections were 6 m and 8 m at 1% Cu, and 1 m at 16 g/t Ag and 0.62 g/t Au.
