Relevant older data from a sequence of exploration programs in the Mount Painter Province, undertaken on Special Mining Leases since 1965, have been previously released. Exploration for possible economic buried epithermal/hydrothermal and stratabound base metals, gold, uranium and rare earth elements performed since 1974 over the Paralana Fault Zone section lying between Mount Painter and Balcanoona, has lately comprised the acquisition of part of an airborne magnetic/radiometric survey, detailed 1:5000 scale geological mapping, prospect evaluation IP surveys, soil, stream sediment and rock chip geochemical sampling, and RC (15 holes, total 1180 m) and diamond drilling (seven holes, total 1313 m). Initial diamond drilling core sample assays peaked at 2043 ppm Cu over 4 m, and rock-chip and old drillcore sampling revealed anomalous lead, zinc and REE. Soil sampling at Lively's Find, near Boulder Bore east of Arkaroola, returned 25 ppm Au, and subsequent intensive resampling of surface and drillhole lithologies yielded up to 62 g/t Au over a 2 metre interval. New diamond drilling at Lively's Find (hole DD89BB2) returned peak copper values of 2250 ppm and encountered 10 metres grading at 27.1 g/t Ag, while costeaning at the Daly/Sir Dominic mines uncovered 24 metres grading on average 1.04 g/t Au. A mining consultant's report on the implications of the EL 8213 joint venture's findings in the Wooltana area points to the untested gold potential remaining in several prospects, and predicts that a Carlin (Nevada) carbonate-hosted, disseminated micron gold mineralisation model applied there should lead to better success than has come to date from a Zambian Copperbelt-style exploration approach.
